Thai Style: Teak Stilt Houses and Timber Floors

A dark teak Thai-style floor. Wide teak planks are laid in a parallel direction, the color is dark reddish-brown, the wood grain is clear, and the surface has developed a warm luster; there are narrow gaps between the planks. The floor is raised off the ground, and near the opening, there is a wooden edge where one can sit, leading to a semi-outdoor platform outside. People remove their shoes before entering the house. Avoid: using tiles and stone instead of wooden floors, using light-colored wood, laying the floor flat on the ground, using high-gloss varnish that makes the floor reflective.

一片深色柚木的泰式地板。寬版的柚木板以平行方向鋪設,顏色是深褐帶紅,木紋清楚,表面被走出溫潤的光澤;板與板之間有細窄的縫。地板架高離地,靠近開口處有一道木緣可以坐,外面就是半戶外的平台。人進屋要脫鞋。避免:使用磁磚與石材取代木地板、使用淺色的木材、把地板貼地做平、使用亮光漆讓地板反光。
