Ceiling, Floor, and Walls: Which is the Protagonist?

A minimalist space where the three interfaces have clear hierarchy. The wall is the protagonist: using textured fair-faced concrete or lime plaster, it has the largest area and the richest play of light and shadow. The floor is a supporting role: a flat, continuous single material, color close to the wall but one shade darker, without any divisions or patterns. The ceiling recedes to the background: a flat surface the same color as the wall, without any molding, light fixtures, or divisions, only a fine recessed groove where it meets the wall. The gaze is thus concentrated on the wall. Avoid: using materials of equal intensity for the three interfaces to compete with each other, adding molding and numerous light fixtures to the ceiling, allowing floor patterns to steal attention, making the color difference between the three surfaces too large.

一個三個界面有明確主從的極簡空間。牆面是主角:使用有質地的清水混凝土或石灰塗料,面積最大、光影最豐富。地板是配角:平整連續的單一材質,顏色接近牆但深一階,沒有任何分割與圖案。天花退到最後:與牆同色的平面,沒有任何造型、燈具與分割,只有一道與牆交界的細凹槽。視線因此集中在牆上。避免:三個界面使用同樣強度的材質互相競爭、在天花加入造型與大量燈具、讓地板的圖案搶走注意力、讓三個面的顏色差距過大。
