Change in Height: Lowering Makes it Seem Taller

A minimalist space with deliberately varied ceiling heights. In the same open space, there are two heights: the ceiling in the areas near the entrance and periphery is only 2.3 meters, low and stable, allowing people to feel the proximity of the ceiling as they walk through; the main central or window-side areas are raised to over 4 meters, with a high side window above. Between the two heights is a clear right-angle transition, without any sloped过渡. Because there are low parts, the high parts appear even higher. Avoid: keeping the entire space at the same height, blurring height changes with slopes and curves, making the low parts too small to create contrast, adding oppressive equipment and pipelines in the low ceiling area.

一個天花高度刻意變化的極簡空間。同一個開放空間裡有兩種高度:靠近入口與周邊的區域天花只有二米三,低而穩定,人走過時可以感覺到頭頂的接近;中央或靠窗的主要區域則挑高到四米以上,上方有一道高側窗。兩種高度之間是一個清楚的直角轉折,沒有斜面過渡。因為有低的部分,高的部分才顯得高。避免:讓整個空間維持同一個高度、用斜面與弧面模糊高度的變化、把低的部分做得太小失去對比、在低天花區加入壓迫的設備與管線。
