Suspended: Volumes Not Touching the Ground

A futuristic space full of a sense of suspension. Countertops, seating, and storage volumes extending from the curved walls do not touch the ground, with their bottoms at least twenty centimeters off the floor, and a downward light strip hidden underneath, washing light over the floor to make the volumes appear to float; stair treads cantilever out from one side of the wall without any visible support; even dividing screens are hung from the ceiling without touching the ground. Avoid: letting volumes touch the ground and sealing them with baseboards, adding visible supports and legs to cantilevers, making volumes solid and flush with the ground, making the gap at the bottom too small to show floating.

一個充滿懸浮感的未來主義空間。從曲面牆延伸出來的檯面、座位與收納量體都不落地,底部離地二十公分以上,下方藏著一道向下的燈帶,光洗過地面讓量體看起來浮著;一段樓梯的踏板從牆面單邊懸挑出來,沒有任何支撐;連分隔的隔屏都吊在天花上不著地。避免:讓量體落地並用踢腳封住、在懸挑處加入可見的支撐與腳、把量體做成貼地的實體、讓底部的空隙太小看不出浮起。
