Not Just Enlarging Residences: Publicness that Allows Strangers to Coexist

Boutique hotel interior, public area seating designed for strangers to use simultaneously without awkwardness: two single chairs separated by a side table, two low lamps on a long table to divide sightlines, a wall-mounted banquette where one person sitting alone doesn't look strange, and a row of single seats by the window. The image shows two or three independent seating arrangements within the same space. Avoid: living room-style circular arrangements, large sofas that can only be used as a whole set, a long table without any dividers.

精品飯店室內,公共區的座位要讓互不認識的人同時使用而不尷尬:兩張單椅之間隔一張邊几,長桌上放兩盞矮燈當視線的分隔,靠牆的卡座讓一個人坐著也不奇怪,窗邊留一排單人位。畫面裡同一個空間有兩三組彼此獨立的坐處。避免:客廳式圍成一圈的配置,只能整組使用的大沙發,一張沒有任何分隔的長桌。
