Recessed Niches: Holes Carved into Woodwork

A recessed open area on a wooden facade, a hole carved out of the woodwork. A horizontal groove, twenty-five centimeters deep, is carved into the middle section of the entire wooden facade. The inside and outside are made of the same type of wood, with crisp corners. A warm-toned downward-facing light strip is hidden along the upper edge. Only two or three items are placed in the groove: a bisque pottery piece, a stack of books, and a wooden tray. This is the only opening on the entire facade.
Avoid: creating multiple niches on the same facade, filling the groove with too many items, using different materials for the inside of the groove, making the groove into a display cabinet with multiple shelves.

一個木作立面上的內凹開放區。整片木作的中段挖出一個橫長的凹槽,深度二十五公分,內側與外側是同一種木材,轉角俐落;上緣藏著一道向下的暖色燈帶。凹槽裡只放兩三件東西:一個粗坯陶器、一疊書、一個木托盤。這是整片立面上唯一的開口。避免:在同一片立面做多個凹龕、在凹槽裡塞滿物品、讓凹槽內側使用不同材質、把凹槽做成有多層層板的展示櫃。
