Built-in Seating: Benches Growing from the Wall

A set of fixed seats extending from the wall structure. They are solidly built, covered with the same white lime plaster as the walls, continuous with the walls and floor as one integrated unit, without any visible seams or legs. The seat height is approximately forty-five centimeters, and the depth is very generous, allowing for both sitting and reclining; it extends continuously along two walls of the room and into a recess under the window, with soft curves at the corners. The seats are covered with thick cushions and throw pillows, made of raw cotton and linen fabrics in ivory and earthy yellow colors. Below the seats are recessed dark seams or open storage compartments. Because the seating is an integral part of the architecture, the space appears permanent and stable. Avoid: using movable freestanding sofas, adding visible legs and bases, making the seat color different from the walls, using high-chroma soft furnishings.

一組從牆體延伸出來的固定座椅。它們是實體砌築的,以與牆面相同的白色石灰塗料包覆,與牆、地連續成一體,沒有任何接縫與腳。座面高度約四十五公分,深度很深,可以坐也可以斜躺;沿著房間的兩面牆與窗下的凹室連續延伸,轉角處是柔和的圓弧。座面上鋪著厚實的坐墊與抱枕,布料是原色的粗棉與亞麻,顏色是象牙與土黃。座椅的下方是內凹的暗縫或開放的收納格。因為座椅是建築的一部分,空間顯得永久而穩定。避免:使用可移動的獨立沙發、加入可見的腳與底座、讓座椅的顏色與牆面不同、使用高彩度的軟裝。
