One Less Material Means One Less Step in Labor

A light luxury space with strictly limited material types. The entire room uses only four types of materials: one type of large stone slab, one type of wood panel, one type of coating, and one type of metal. Because there are few types, the junctions only need to handle a few combinations, allowing for better detailing of the edgings; and each material can be purchased in large quantities. A corner of the image shows a comparison with a version using nine materials: stone, wood veneer, ironwork, mirror, upholstered fabric, molding, glass, tiles, and wallpaper appear simultaneously, with numerous forced trim strips at the junctions. Although each item is not cheap, the overall effect appears fragmented. Both versions have the same square footage and layout. Avoid: making the two versions similar, adding a fifth material to the correct version, reducing the material types to only two making it monotonous, changing the space's layout.

一個嚴格限制材料種類的輕奢空間。整個房間只有四種材料:一種石紋大板、一種木紋板、一種塗料、一種金屬。因為種類少,交接的方式只需要處理少數幾種組合,收邊的細節可以做得更好;而且每一種都可以大量採購。畫面一角以使用九種材料的版本作對照:石材、木皮、鐵件、鏡面、繃布、線板、玻璃、磁磚、壁紙同時出現,交接處出現大量勉強的收邊條,雖然每一樣都不便宜,整體反而顯得零碎。兩者的坪數與配置相同。避免:讓兩者相似、在正確版本加入第五種材料、把材料種類減到只剩兩種變得單調、改變空間的配置。
