Oriental Screen: Gauze, Wood Grids, and Indirect Light

A guest room composed of layers of oriental elements: the bed is surrounded by a set of movable wooden lattice screens, with a simplified ice-crack pattern, backed with thin gauze, thus separating yet not fully enclosing. The walls are dark wood veneer and hand-troweled dark red plaster. The flooring is dark stone paired with a large-scale hand-woven rug. The furniture is low-slung: a low daybed, a set of side tables with drawers. All lighting is indirect, hidden behind the screens and in ceiling coves, with light passing through the gauze and lattices to form delicate patterns. Copper incense burners emit fine smoke. Avoid: using excessive dragon and phoenix motifs, fixed immovable screens, direct recessed lighting, bright red and gold color schemes.

一間客房以層層的東方元素構成:床的四周是一組可移動的木格屏風,格子的圖案是簡化的冰裂紋,背後糊著薄紗,因此隔而不斷。牆面是深色的木皮與手工抹的暗紅灰泥。地坪是深色石材配一張大尺度的手織地毯。家具是低矮的:一張矮榻、一組帶抽屜的邊几。所有照明都是間接的,藏在屏風背後與天花凹槽,光穿過紗與格子形成細碎的圖案。銅製的香爐飄出細煙。避免:使用大量的雕龍畫鳳、屏風固定不可移動、照明使用直接的嵌燈、色調做成明亮的紅金。
