Damascus・Second Floor Corridor

A second-floor corridor surrounding the courtyard. One side has wooden railings and wooden lattice screens overlooking the courtyard, the other side has wooden doors to rooms. The ceiling has exposed wooden beams, and the floor is brick or flagstone. Light enters from the courtyard, and the lattice screens cut it into stripes falling on the corridor floor. Avoid: changing the railings to solid walls, removing the wooden lattice screens, making the corridor so wide it becomes a room, using modern metal railings and glass.

二層環繞中庭的走廊。一側是木欄杆與木格屏可以俯視中庭,另一側是房間的木門,天花是外露的木樑,地面是磚或石板。光從中庭進來,格屏把它切成條紋落在走廊地上。避免:把欄杆改成實牆封閉、拿掉木格屏、走廊寬到變成房間、用現代的金屬欄杆與玻璃。
