Built-in Seating: Benches Growing from the Wall

A masonry bench extending from the wall. Its height is forty-five centimeters, depth eighty centimeters, extending several meters along the wall and curving with the wall at the corner; the surface is the same plaster as the wall, and the junction with the wall is a hand-troweled curve, appearing not to have been added later. Two or three thick, natural-colored linen cushions are placed on it. The bottom connects directly to the ground. Avoid: using movable sofas, having the bench and wall use different materials, elevating the bench to expose the gap underneath, adding armrests and backrest structures to the bench.

一道從牆面延伸出來的砌體長凳。它的高度是四十五公分、深度八十公分,順著牆延伸數公尺,並在轉角處跟著牆一起彎過去;表面與牆是同一種灰泥,與牆的交接處是一道手抹的圓弧,看不出是後來加上去的。上面放著兩三塊厚實的原色麻布坐墊。底部與地面直接相接。避免:使用可移動的沙發、讓長凳與牆使用不同材質、把長凳架高露出下方空隙、在長凳上加入扶手與靠背結構。
