Modern Mediterranean • Bathroom: Seamless Stucco and Niches

A modern Mediterranean bathroom. The walls, floor, and shower area are continuously covered with traditional waterproof lime plaster, in a warm, pinkish ochre color, with a soft waxy sheen and handmade cloud-like variations in depth, all corners rounded, with no tile joints whatsoever. The basin is a recess carved out from a protrusion in the wall, made of the same material and color as the wall. The faucet is a slender black iron or unpainted brass rod, extending from the wall. Two recessed niches are dug into the wall to hold handmade soap and rolled coarse cotton towels. The mirror is a frameless arched glass. The shower area has no screen, only a gentle slope on the floor for drainage. Light falls from a deep-set high side window, creating a gradient on the curved surfaces. Avoid: using tiles and visible joints, adding freestanding vanity cabinets and basins, using glass screens and metal trim, illuminating the space brightly.

一間現代地中海的衛浴。牆面、地面與淋浴區以傳統防水石灰工法連續包覆,顏色是溫暖的帶粉赭土色,表面有柔和的蠟感光澤與手工的雲狀深淺,所有轉角圓弧,完全沒有磁磚接縫。面盆是牆面向外突出後挖出的一個凹槽,與牆同材質同色。龍頭是黑鐵或未上漆黃銅的細桿,從牆面伸出。牆上挖出兩個內凹壁龕放置手工皂與捲好的粗棉毛巾。鏡子是一面無框的拱形玻璃。淋浴區沒有隔屏,只有地面的緩坡排水。光從一個深洞的高側窗落下,在弧面上形成漸層。避免:使用磁磚與可見接縫、加入獨立的浴櫃與面盆、使用玻璃隔屏與金屬收邊、把空間照得明亮。
