Tropical Estate・Porch: View of the fields between the columns

The front porch of a manor house. The floor is whitewashed wide planks or bricks, worn shiny; six white round columns stand equidistant, supporting a two-story high porch, between which a straight driveway and crop fields on both sides can be seen. On one side is a rattan lounge chair and a small round table, on the other side is a white-painted swing bench suspended by iron chains. The door is dark green, with a fan-shaped transom window above. The light is strong daylight, and the porch is in deep shadow. Avoid: making the contrast between light and shadow on the porch and outside unclear, using modern outdoor furniture, making the columns decorative thin tubes, leaving the porch empty without signs of life.

一個莊園主屋的正面門廊。地面是刷白的寬版木板或磚,被走得發亮;六根白色的圓柱等距立著,撐起兩層樓高的門廊,柱間可以看出去是一條筆直的車道與兩側的作物田。一側放著一張藤編躺椅與一張小圓几,另一側是一張漆白的鞦韆長椅用鐵鍊吊著。門是深綠的,上面有扇形的氣窗。光是強烈的日光,廊下是深陰影。避免:讓廊下與外面的明暗對比不明顯、使用現代的戶外家具、把柱做成裝飾性的細管、讓門廊空著沒有生活痕跡。
