Oriental Retro Modern: The Treaty Port of the 1930s

A space that looks like the 1930s but is well-maintained. Dark teak door frames and moldings, green velvet sofas, brass and frosted glass light fixtures, and patterned terrazzo floors. The proportion of Eastern woodwork to Western Art Deco is half and half, like a foreign concession-era mansion repurposed. There's a hint of humidity and warmth in the air. Avoid: making it purely Western European classical, removing all Eastern elements, replacing materials with contemporary light-colored minimalism, making the space feel dry, bright, and lacking a sense of age.

一個看起來像上世紀三零年代但保養良好的空間。深色柚木的門框與線腳、綠色絲絨的沙發、黃銅與磨砂玻璃的燈具、地面是有花紋的水磨石。東方的木作與西方的裝飾藝術比例各半,像是租界時期的洋房被重新使用。空氣裡有一點潮濕與溫度。避免:做成純西式的歐洲古典、拿掉所有東方元素、把材料換成當代的淺色簡約、讓空間顯得乾燥明亮沒有年代感。
