One Material Finishes: Walls to Beds of the Same Material

A guest room completed using only one material for all surfaces and volumes—for example, terrazzo with red aggregate, or hand-troweled ochre plaster: walls, ceiling, floor, bed base, countertops, bathtub, and storage niches are all the same material, with large rounded corners continuously transitioning, making it impossible to distinguish between walls and furniture. The only three different materials are: metal faucets, glass cups, and bed textiles. Because the material is unified, the shape of the space becomes the sole message, read through shadows. Lighting is a continuous strip of indirect light from the ceiling. Avoid: introducing a second surface material, using color to differentiate areas, adding freestanding furniture, installing recessed or pendant lights on the ceiling.

一間客房只使用一種材料完成所有的面與量體——例如帶紅色骨材的水磨石,或是手工抹的赭色灰泥:牆、天花、地坪、床的底座、檯面、浴缸與置物凹龕全部是同一種,轉角以大圓角連續轉過去,看不出哪裡是牆哪裡是家具。唯一的異材質只有三樣:金屬的水龍頭、玻璃杯,以及床上的織品。因為材料統一,空間的形狀成為唯一的訊息,靠陰影閱讀。照明是天花的一整片間接光。避免:引入第二種面材、用顏色區分不同區域、加入獨立的家具、天花裝設嵌燈或吊燈。
