Street-facing facade: Undisclosed from the outside

The street-facing facade of a motel, deliberately designed as a completely enclosed and neutral volume: no guest room windows face the street, the exterior wall is a continuous dark stone or metal panel, with only a recessed opening at the entrance and a small-scale sign. Because there are no windows, the facade creates expression through material segmentation and relief. The building height is kept low and further obscured by densely planted trees. All windows and balconies face the internal courtyard or the rear. At night, the facade has only subtle indirect lighting. Avoid: guest room windows facing the street, adding large neon signs, using glass curtain walls for the facade, making the entrance a bright and open lobby.

一棟汽車旅館的臨街立面,刻意做成完全封閉且中性的量體:沒有任何客房的窗開向街道,外牆是連續的深色石材或金屬板,只有入口處一道退縮的開口與一塊小尺度的招牌。因為沒有開窗,立面靠材料的分割與凹凸產生表情。建築的高度壓低,並以密植的喬木進一步遮蔽。所有的窗與陽台都朝向內部的中庭或後方。夜間,立面只有低調的間接照明。避免:客房開窗面向街道、加入大型霓虹招牌、立面使用玻璃帷幕、入口做成明亮開闊的大廳。
