One Material Clads the Entire House

A minimalist Mediterranean residence using only a single material. The same lime plaster is troweled from the floor onto the walls, over the curved junctions, covering the entire ceiling, and continuing to clad benches, bed platforms, countertops, and the insides of niches; the entire space is the same color, the same texture, with the same hand-troweled marks. Only a few movable objects are made of other materials. Avoid: using different materials on different surfaces, replacing the floor with wood flooring and tiles, separating the ceiling from the walls with white paint, adding veneers of other materials to the masonry.

一個只用單一材料的地中海極簡住宅。同一種石灰灰泥從地板抹上牆、越過圓弧的交界、覆蓋整片天花,再繼續包覆長凳、床台、檯面與凹龕的內側;整個空間是同一個顏色、同一種質地、同一種手抹的痕跡。只有少數幾件可移動的物件是別的材料。避免:在不同的面使用不同的材料、把地面換成木地板與磁磚、讓天花使用白色塗料與牆分開、在砌體上加入其他材質的貼面。
