Modern Zen Bathroom: Wood, Stone, and a High Window

A modern Zen-style bathroom. The bathtub is a square cypress wood tub or a square trough carved from a single block of stone, not large but deep enough to sit and soak up to the shoulders. The floor and lower half of the walls are dark gray stone, and the upper half is waterproof earthen plaster. All lines are straight, with no rounded corners or curved surfaces. The fixtures are matte dark, with the simplest straight bar design. A long, horizontal high window is placed near the ceiling, with light slanting down to form a distinct patch of light on the stone wall, preventing views from outside. There is a wooden footboard on the floor. No bottles or containers are exposed. Low illuminance. Avoid: using curved or rounded shapes, adding large mirrors and glossy materials, exposing bottles and amenities, using recessed ceiling lights.

一間現代禪風的浴室。浴缸是一個方正的檜木桶或一整塊石材挖出的方槽,尺寸不大但深,可以坐著泡到肩膀。地面與牆面下半部是深灰的石材,上半部是防水的土質塗料。所有的線條都是直的,沒有圓角與曲面。五金是霧面的深色,造型是最簡的直桿。一道橫長的高窗開在接近天花的位置,光斜射下來在石牆上形成一塊明確的光斑,外面看不進來。地上有一塊木製的踏板。沒有任何瓶罐外露。照度低。避免:使用圓弧與曲面的造型、加入大面的鏡子與亮面材料、讓瓶罐與備品外露、使用天花嵌燈。
