Two Temperatures of Material: Direct Connection of Stone and Wood

The main interior space uses only two materials, directly joined without trim: half of the floor is rough flamed granite, the other half is warm teak flooring. The junction is a 5mm straight seam, with both materials flush in thickness. The walls are similarly divided but in the opposite direction—stone on top, wood on bottom, with the dividing line at 1200mm high. Due to the different dividing directions, a staggered reading is formed in the space. Furniture is minimal: one long table and four chairs, all made of the same dark metal. There is only one oblique light entering from a high, long window, sweeping across the junction of the two materials. Avoid: adding trim strips or baseboards at the junction, using the same roughness for material surfaces, adding a third material, making the light a uniform ambient light.

室內的主要空間只用兩種材料,而且讓它們直接對接不做收邊:地坪的一半是粗糙的燒面花崗石,另一半是溫暖的柚木地板,交界處是一條 5mm 的直縫,兩種材料的厚度切齊。牆面同樣分割,但方向相反——石在上、木在下,分界線在 1200mm 高。因為分界的方向不同,空間裡形成一種交錯的閱讀。家具極少:一張長桌與四張椅,全部是同一種深色金屬。光線只有一道從高處長窗進來的斜光,掃過兩種材料的交界。避免:交界處加入收邊條或踢腳、材料表面使用同樣的粗糙度、加入第三種材料、光線做成均勻的環境光。
