Semi-Outdoor Living: Roofed but Not Walled

An island resort living space with a roof but no walls. A large dark wooden roof is supported by four to six columns, beneath which is a raised teak platform, completely open on all sides without any walls or windows; the floor is at the same height and made of the same material as the adjacent indoor space. Inside, there is a low set of woven rattan sofas, a thick wooden coffee table, and a slow-rotating wooden-bladed ceiling fan. Avoid: adding glass and screens to enclose the space, using plastic outdoor furniture, making the roof low and oppressive, having a height difference and material difference between the platform and the indoor space.

一個沒有牆的海島度假起居空間。一個深色木構的大屋頂由四到六根柱子撐起,底下是一片架高的柚木平台,四周完全開放沒有任何牆與窗;地板與相鄰的室內同高同材質。裡面有一組低矮的藤編沙發、一張厚實的木矮几、以及天花上一台緩慢轉動的木葉吊扇。避免:加裝玻璃與紗窗把空間封起來、使用塑膠戶外家具、把屋頂做得低矮壓迫、讓平台與室內有高差與材質差異。
