Grille Screen: Dividing Without Separating

A semi-transparent mid-century modern screen. It consists of equally spaced dark wooden slats or a set of geometric openwork bricks, standing from floor to ceiling but allowing visibility through; placed between the entrance and the living room, or on the side of the stairs. Light casts regular stripes on the floor through the gaps, and the silhouettes of people behind become blurred movements. It defines areas without blocking the space. Avoid: using solid partition walls, making the gaps too dense almost opaque, using glass instead of slats, making the spacing of the slats uneven.

一道半通透的世紀中現代隔屏。它由等距排列的深色木條或一組幾何的鏤空磚組成,從地面立到天花但可以看穿;放在玄關與客廳之間、或樓梯的側面。光透過縫隙在地面投下規則的條紋,後方的人影變成模糊的移動。它界定了區域但沒有阻斷空間。避免:使用實心的隔間牆、把縫隙做得太密幾乎不透、使用玻璃取代格柵、讓格柵的間距不均勻。
