Mediterranean Modern・Corridor: Solid One Side, Arch the Other

A Mediterranean modern residential corridor. One side is a continuous solid white plaster wall, with two or three small recessed niches dug into it at equal intervals, each holding a piece of pottery, softly lit from below; the other side is a row of arched openings facing a courtyard, where light enters and casts a series of curved light spots on the floor. The floor is terracotta or limestone, continuously extending to the end. The ceiling may show wooden rafters or continuous shallow arches. Avoid: hanging walls full of paintings and photos in the corridor, adding storage cabinets that occupy width, making both sides solid walls to darken the corridor, installing a full row of recessed lights on the ceiling.

一條地中海現代住宅的走廊。一側是連續的白灰泥實牆,牆上等距挖出兩三個小的內凹壁龕,各放一件陶器,底部有柔和的光;另一側是一排開向中庭的拱洞,光從那裡進來在地面投下一排弧形的光斑。地面是赤陶或石灰岩,連續延伸到底。天花可以看到木椽或是連續的淺拱。避免:在走廊掛滿畫與照片、加入收納櫃佔用寬度、把兩側都做成實牆讓走廊變暗、在天花加裝一整排嵌燈。
