Raised Floors and Off-the-Ground Furniture

A moisture-proof colonial interior with a raised floor and elevated furniture. The entire floor slab is raised off the ground, and the interior floor is wide-plank dark hardwood, producing a slight hollow sound when stepped on; all furniture has distinct legs that lift the cabinets and bed frames 15 to 30 centimeters off the ground, allowing the floor to be seen continuously underneath. No piece of furniture is floor-standing and sealed. This is for ventilation and insect prevention. Avoid: using floor-standing sealed cabinets and sofas, placing furniture directly on the floor, covering the floor entirely with carpets, making furniture legs too short.

一個防潮的殖民室內。整層樓板抬高離地,室內地板是寬版的深色硬木,踩上去有輕微的空響;所有的家具都有明確的腳把櫃體與床架托離地面十五到三十公分,底下看得到地板連續穿過。沒有任何一件家具是落地封死的。這是為了通風與防蟲。避免:使用落地封閉的櫃體與沙發、把家具直接坐在地上、使用地毯把地板蓋滿、讓家具的腳做得太短。
