Stone Sink: Carved from a Single Block

A stone sink in a Spanish Revival house. The entire sink is carved from a single piece of beige limestone, with a thick, rough outer edge that retains chisel marks. The inner surface is smooth from water erosion, and there is a drain hole at the bottom. It might appear in a courtyard, kitchen, or restroom, sitting directly on the ground or built into a wall, at a low height. Water flows from a simple black iron pipe on the wall, making a clear sound as it hits the stone surface.
Avoid: Using precisely cut square stone troughs, using tiled masonry sinks, adding modern ceramic basins, using polished stone.

一座西班牙復興住宅的石砌水槽。整座水槽是一塊米黃色的石灰岩挖鑿出來的,外緣厚實粗獷,保留鑿痕;內側被水磨得光滑,底部有一道排水口。它可能出現在庭院、廚房或洗手間,直接坐在地上或砌在牆邊,高度較低。水從牆上一根簡單的黑鐵管流出,落在石面上有清楚的聲音。避免:使用切割精準的方形石槽、使用磁磚貼面的砌體水槽、加入現代的陶瓷面盆、使用亮面拋光的石材。
