Suspended: The Volume is Fifteen Centimeters Off the Ground

A modern minimalist space with suspended cabinets. The TV cabinet, dining side cabinet, and bathroom vanity all have a 15 to 20 cm gap underneath, allowing the floor to extend continuously beneath them, making the cabinets appear to be mounted on the wall. A downward-facing light strip is hidden inside the gap; when lit at night, it washes light over the floor, making the volumes appear to float. The suspension height is uniform throughout the house. Floor-standing furniture, on the other hand, has a clear volumetric feel, ensuring the two design languages are not mixed. Avoid: having cabinets extend to the floor and sealed with toe kicks, having inconsistent suspension heights for different cabinets, stacking items in the suspended gap, or making the gap too small, losing the floating effect.

一個櫃體懸空的現代簡約空間。電視櫃、餐邊櫃與浴室的洗手檯下方都留出十五到二十公分的空隙,地板連續地穿過去,櫃體看起來是掛在牆上的。空隙內側藏著一道向下的燈帶,夜間亮起時光洗過地面,量體看起來像浮著。懸空的高度全屋統一。落地的家具則有明確的量體感,兩種語言不混用。避免:讓櫃體落地並用踢腳板封住、讓不同櫃體的懸空高度不一致、在懸空的空隙裡堆放物品、把空隙做得太小失去浮起的效果。
