Framed View: Every Opening Frames One Thing

An oriental luxury space where every opening frames a specific view. Openings in the wall are not for lighting, but to frame specific elements: a square opening directly facing a sculptural tree in the courtyard, a long, low horizontal window revealing only a patch of gravel and moss, a tall, slender window framing a distant mountain. The proportion and position of each opening are determined by the view it frames, and the edges of the openings are clean and frameless.
Avoid: having openings face cluttered backgrounds and neighboring buildings, using large floor-to-ceiling windows to capture all views at once, adding prominent frames and moldings to openings, having openings without a precise alignment with the framed objects.

一個以開口框住景物的東方奢華空間。牆上的開口不是為了採光,而是為了框住特定的東西:一個方形的洞口正對著中庭裡的一株姿態樹、一道橫長的低窗只看得到一片碎石與苔、一扇高瘦的窗框住遠處的一座山。開口的比例與位置都是為了那個景而定的,洞口的邊緣乾淨無框。避免:讓開口對著雜亂的背景與鄰棟建築、使用大面落地窗把所有景色一次收進來、在開口加上明顯的框與線板、讓開口的位置與景物沒有對位關係。
