Organic Mediterranean Minimalism・Semi-Outdoor: A Wall Enclosing the Sky

A semi-outdoor courtyard of an organic Mediterranean minimalist residence. Four sides are floor-to-ceiling off-white plaster walls, with rounded corners, completely open at the top to the sky. The ground is the same plaster as the interior, with only a thin groove marking the boundary between inside and out. There are only three things in the courtyard: an olive tree, a raw stone, and a masonry bench extending from the wall. Shadows on the walls move with the sun. Avoid: adding pergolas and shading structures, paving with materials other than wooden decks and gravel, placing sets of outdoor furniture, planting dense vegetation.

一個有機地中海極簡住宅的半戶外院落。四面是及頂的灰白灰泥圍牆,轉角圓潤,上方完全開放看得到天空。地面是與室內相同的灰泥,只有一道細溝縫標示內外。院子裡只有三樣東西:一株橄欖樹、一塊原石、以及一道從牆長出來的砌體長凳。牆上的影子隨太陽移動。避免:加入棚架與遮陽構造、鋪設木棧板與碎石以外的材料、擺放成套的戶外家具、種植茂密的植栽。
