Underfloor Heating and Floor Living

A Korean space where the floor is the main living surface. The ground is warm: the surface might be oiled yellow Hanji paper, smooth stone slabs, or seamless concrete, in warm off-white to light brown colors, smooth but not reflective. People sit directly on the floor, with only a few thin cushions; furniture is minimal, with only a low table about thirty centimeters high. The floor itself is clean enough to lie down on. Avoid: using wooden flooring and carpets, adding standard-height sofas and chairs, making the ground appear cold, using patterned and mosaic flooring.

一個以地板為主要生活面的韓式空間。地面是溫熱的:表面可能是打過油的黃色韓紙、平整的石板或無縫的水泥,顏色是溫暖的米黃到淺褐,表面光滑但不反光。人直接坐在地上,只有幾個薄坐墊;家具極少,只有一張三十公分高的矮桌。地板本身是乾淨到可以躺下的。避免:使用木地板與地毯覆蓋、加入一般高度的沙發與椅子、讓地面顯得冰冷、使用有圖案與拼花的地坪。
