Forest Resources: Wood is the Cheapest Material

An interior that makes extensive use of local coniferous wood. The wood is pine, spruce, or birch—fast-growing, high-yield, inexpensive northern tree species, with a warm, pale yellowish-white color, straight and clear grain, and prominent knots that have not been picked out or filled. It is used everywhere: floors, ceilings, wall panels, furniture, door and window frames, making it the largest material area in the space. The surface is only treated with white wood wax or transparent soaping to keep the wood light-colored and prevent it from yellowing over time. Because the wood is inexpensive and easy to work with, the furniture is made with simple boards and joinery rather than complex carvings. Avoid: using dark imported hardwoods like walnut and teak, filling in knots, using high-gloss finishes and dark stains, adding intricate carved decorations.

一個大量使用當地針葉木的室內。木材是松木、雲杉或樺木——生長快、產量大、價格低廉的北方樹種,顏色是溫暖的淺黃白,紋理直而清楚,有明顯的節疤沒有被挑掉或填補。它被用在所有地方:地板、天花板、牆板、家具、門窗框,是空間中面積最大的材料。表面只上白色的木蠟或透明的皂化處理,讓木頭保持淺色不會隨時間變黃。因為木材便宜且好加工,家具的做法是簡單的板材與榫接而不是複雜的雕刻。避免:使用胡桃與柚木等深色進口硬木、把節疤填平、使用高光的漆面與深色染色、加入繁複的雕刻裝飾。
