Human-Friendly Scale: Don't Make It Too Big

A space with deliberately human-scaled dimensions. The ceiling height is a comfortable three meters, not a double-height space; the ceiling in the seating area is locally lowered further; the depth and height of the sofa are designed for actual sitting comfort, not for an imposing appearance; the coffee table height is close to the sofa seat, allowing easy reach for a cup; shelf heights are all within arm's reach; corridor width is just enough for two people to pass each other. All dimensions are derived from the human body. Therefore, the space is relaxing rather than awe-inspiring. One corner of the image shows a comparison with a deliberately exaggerated scale version—five-meter high ceilings, oversized furniture, wide corridors, appearing grand but distant. Avoid: making the two versions similar, using oversized furniture in the correct version, making the ceiling too low and oppressive, changing materials and layout.

一個尺度刻意貼近人體的空間。天花高度是舒適的三米而不是挑高;座位區的天花再局部降低;沙發的進深與高度是為了實際坐著舒服而不是為了看起來氣派;茶几的高度與沙發座面接近,伸手就能放杯子;層板的高度都在伸手可及的範圍;走道的寬度剛好兩人錯身。所有尺寸都是從身體推導出來的。因此空間讓人放鬆而不是被震懾。畫面一角以刻意放大尺度的版本作對照——五米挑高、超大家具、寬闊走道,顯得氣派但疏離。避免:讓兩者相似、在正確版本使用超大的家具、把天花做得過低壓迫、改變材料與配置。
