Indoor Courtyard in the Office: A Rest Area Enclosed by Wooden Elements

In the middle of the floor plan, an area is left free of workstations, forming an inwardly curved resting nook enclosed by a curved wooden bench. The bench back is approximately 1100mm high, with a continuous curve, so that once seated, the surrounding workstations are out of sight. The seat surface is wood, the backrest is covered with light-colored fabric, and two or three large indoor plants in unglazed ceramic pots are placed at the corners. The flooring changes from the office carpet to cork or linoleum of the same color family, providing a textural difference underfoot. Above, the ceiling features a circular recess with concealed indirect lighting, reducing the illumination in this area. Avoid: enclosing the resting area with glass partitions, placing standard sofa sets, adding a TV or projector screen, using artificial plants.

在樓層平面的中段留出一塊不放工位的區域,用弧形的木作長凳圍成一個內凹的休息角。長凳背高約 1100mm,弧線是連續的,坐進去之後看不見外圍的工位。凳面是木頭,靠背貼淺色織物,轉角處放兩三盆大型室內植物,盆器是素燒陶。地坪從辦公區的地毯換成同色系的軟木或亞麻油氈,踩上去有材質變化。上方天花做一片圓形的下凹,藏一圈間接光,把這一塊的照度降下來。避免:用玻璃隔間圍出休息室、放置制式的沙發組、加入電視或投影幕、植物使用假植栽。
