What to Remove from the Mediterranean: Walls, Light, and Holes Remain

A Mediterranean interior reduced to its minimum. The original vocabulary has been largely removed: no painted tiles, no wrought iron, no wooden beams, no wicker furniture, no tapestries or ceramic plates. Only three elements remain: thick walls of hand-troweled white plaster, precise openings, and surfaces illuminated by light. There are only two or three pieces of furniture, and they are part of the masonry. The space is thus reduced to form and light. Avoid: adding painted glazed tiles and wrought iron components, using exposed dark wooden beams, placing a large amount of wicker and pottery, hanging any decorations on the walls.

一個被減到最少的地中海室內。原本的語彙被大量刪除:沒有彩繪磁磚、沒有鍛鐵、沒有木樑、沒有藤編家具、沒有掛毯與陶盤。留下來的只有三樣:手抹的白灰泥厚牆、精準的開口、以及被光照亮的表面。家具只有兩三件,而且是砌體的一部分。空間因此只剩下形體與光。避免:加入彩繪釉磚與鍛鐵構件、使用外露的深色木樑、擺放大量藤編與陶器、在牆上掛任何裝飾。
