Lantern-like Counter Body: A Translucent, Glowing Volume

The hotel reception counter is entirely translucent: the front is made of 30mm thick alabaster or translucent resin panels, uniformly lit from within, so the entire counter resembles a glowing lantern, with the natural texture of the material clearly visible when light passes through. The countertop, however, is an opaque dark stone, 60mm thick, resting on the glowing volume, creating a clear top-bottom contrast. The volume is raised 100mm off the ground, with light also leaking from underneath. The ambient lighting is deliberately kept low, making this counter the brightest object in the lobby. The background is a dark wall with a large sculpture. Avoid: uneven internal light causing bright spots, using colored lighting, making the countertop translucent as well, ambient lighting being too bright and eliminating contrast.

酒店櫃檯的量體整個是半透明的:正面是 30mm 厚的雪花石或半透明樹脂板,內部均勻打光,所以整座櫃檯像一個發亮的燈籠,材料的天然紋理在透光時清楚浮現。檯面則是不透光的深色石材,厚 60mm,壓在發光的量體上,形成明確的上下對比。量體離地 100mm,光從底下也漏出來。周邊環境的照度刻意壓低,所以這座櫃檯是大堂裡最亮的物件。背景是深色的牆與一件大型的雕塑。避免:內部光源不均勻出現亮斑、使用彩色燈光、檯面也做成透光、周邊照明打亮讓對比消失。
