Snow Reflection: The Main Daylight Source

A mountain dwelling interior illuminated by snow reflection. The main light source in winter is not direct sunlight, but diffuse light reflected from the outdoor snow surface: it enters at a low angle through large glass panes, illuminating the underside of the wooden ceiling beams, with very faint, downward-slanted shadows, and an overall cool, bluish color temperature; the interior thus appears bright but not glaring. Wood appears warmer under this light. Avoid: using strong direct sunlight and hard shadows, making the interior dim, allowing light to enter only from above, overpowering the cool daylight with warm light.

一個被雪地反光照亮的山居室內。冬天的主要光源不是直射陽光,而是戶外雪面反射進來的漫射光:它從大片玻璃低角度進入,把天花的木樑底面照亮,陰影很淡、方向偏下,整體色溫偏冷偏藍;室內因此顯得明亮但不刺眼。木材在這種光下顯得更溫暖。避免:使用強烈的直射陽光與硬陰影、把室內做得昏暗、讓光線只從上方進來、用暖光把冷調的日光蓋掉。
