Spa Minimalism・Rest Nook: Three Minutes of Lying Down After Soaking

A small resting nook right next to the wet area. The space is only about 2 square meters, but it's enough for a bench long enough to lie down completely—over 1.8 meters long and 60 centimeters wide, with a thick cotton pad and a rolled-up pillow on top. Next to it is a low table with a kettle and cups. Underfloor heating keeps the floor warm, so one can walk barefoot. A high side window lets in natural light, with a glimpse of treetops outside. The walls are finished with warm mineral plaster. The illumination is extremely low. There are no screens or equipment here; the only thing to do is lie down. A bath towel is casually draped over one end of the bench. Avoid: making the bench too short to lie down, adding TV and audio equipment, using bright lighting, making the nook too far from the wet area.

一個緊鄰濕區的小型休息角。空間只有半坪多,但足夠放一張可以完全躺平的長凳——長度超過一米八、寬度六十公分,表面鋪著厚實的棉墊與一個捲起的枕。旁邊是一張矮几放著水壺與杯子。地暖讓地面是溫的,可以赤腳。一扇高側窗透進天光,窗外看得見一段樹梢。牆面是溫暖的礦物塗料。照度極低。這裡沒有任何螢幕與設備,唯一能做的事就是躺著。畫面中一條浴巾隨意搭在凳的一端。避免:把長凳做得過短無法躺平、加入電視與音響設備、使用明亮的照明、讓這個角落與濕區距離過遠。
