Humanistic Atmosphere · Tea Room: Low Seating and Side Light

An independent tea room. The space is not large but the ceiling is low, with a horizontal proportion. The floor is a raised solid wood platform, so the line of sight is low when seated. In the center is a low solid wood tea table, with a set of tea utensils in use and a linen tea cloth. The walls are made of handmade artistic plaster. One wall has a horizontal window, positioned at eye level when seated, framing a tree and a garden stone in the courtyard. Another wall has a recessed niche, holding only a single flower vase with a seasonal branch, illuminated by a faint light. In the corner, there is a stove for boiling water and an incense burner, with smoke gently rising. The overall illumination is very low. Avoid: using standing-height furniture, making the window a large floor-to-ceiling window, adding multiple decorative items and ornaments, using bright ceiling lighting.

一間獨立的茶室。空間不大但天花較低,比例是橫向的。地面是一片架高的實木平台,坐在上面時視線很低。中央是一張低矮的實木茶桌,上有一套正在使用的茶具與一塊麻布茶巾。牆面是手工藝術塗料,一面牆上開著一道橫幅的窗,高度剛好在坐姿的視線上,框住庭院的一株樹與一塊置石。另一面牆有一個內凹的壁龕,只放一只花器插著一枝當季的花,上有一道微弱的光。角落有一個煮水的爐與一只香爐,煙緩緩上升。整體照度很低。避免:使用站姿高度的家具、把窗做成大面落地窗、加入多件擺件與裝飾、使用明亮的天花照明。
