Black Iron & Corten Steel: Thin and Heavy Metal

A set of metal components for a mountain dwelling space. Structural joints are made of matte black hot-rolled steel plates, with visible thickness and exposed bolts; stair stringers and railings are made of the same black steel, crafted very finely; the fireplace hearth or a section of an exterior wall is made of rusted weathering steel, with an even, orange-brown rust layer on the surface. All metals are matte, without reflections. Avoid: using stainless steel and chrome-plated shiny metals, adding gold and brass decorations, making steel components so delicate that they lose their sense of weight, creating artificial patterns on rusted surfaces.

一組山居空間的金屬件。結構的接頭是霧黑的熱軋鋼板,厚度看得出來,螺栓外露;樓梯的側梁與欄杆是同樣的黑鋼,做得很細;壁爐的爐台或一段外牆是鏽蝕的耐候鋼,表面是橘褐色的均勻鏽層。所有金屬都是霧面的,沒有反光。避免:使用不鏽鋼與鍍鉻的亮面金屬、加入金色與黃銅的裝飾、把鋼件做得纖細到失去重量感、在鏽面上做出人工的花紋。
