Nature-Inspired Living Room: Trees, Light, and Views

A biophilic designed living room. One entire side is a fully openable floor-to-ceiling glass wall, outside of which is a dense tree canopy. From the sofa, the view extends over the terrace to distant mountains. Inside, a four-meter tall tree is planted in a planter flush with the floor, with a skylight directly above it, casting moving dappled light spots on the floor. Behind the sofa is a solid wall, and the ceiling above the seating area is lowered to create a sense of shelter. All materials are natural: solid wood flooring, lime-plastered walls, wool and linen textiles. The window is open, and sheer curtains are gently swaying in the breeze. In a corner, there is a shallow water channel with a low, continuous sound of water. Avoid: using artificial plants and faux wood materials, making windows fixed and unopenable, adding numerous ceiling recessed lights, allowing no living nature to be visible indoors.

一間親自然設計的客廳。一整面是可完全開啟的落地玻璃,外面是茂密的樹冠,坐在沙發上的視線可以越過露台看到遠處的山。室內靠內側種著一株高達四米的喬木,種在與地面齊平的植栽槽中,上方有天窗直射光落下,在地面形成移動的斑駁光點。沙發背後是實牆,上方天花在座位區降低形成庇護感。材料全部是天然的:實木地板、石灰塗料的牆、羊毛與亞麻的織品。窗開著,薄紗簾被風吹動。角落有一道淺水槽,水聲低而持續。避免:使用人造植物與仿木材料、把窗做成固定不可開啟、加入大量天花嵌燈、讓室內看不見任何活的自然。
