Desert Spa: Earth Tones and Minimal Intervention

A treatment room in a desert resort, with walls and ceiling made of hand-troweled earth-toned plaster, matching the color of the sand dunes outside. Corners are rounded, without any lines or divisions. The only opening is a 400mm wide, full-height vertical window slit, directly facing a sand dune, framing only the curve of the sand, not the sky or the ground. The treatment bed is a fixed platform built from plastered masonry, topped with a thick cushion. The floor is compacted earth material. There is no furniture or decoration in the space, only a niche embedded in the wall for towels and a single candlelight. Avoid: adding floor-to-ceiling windows and large-area lighting, using wood or stone finishes, using movable furniture for the treatment bed, walls with a flat finish.

一間位於沙漠度假村的療程室,牆與天花是手工抹的土色灰泥,顏色與窗外的沙丘一致,轉角做成圓弧,沒有任何線條或分割。唯一的開口是一道 400mm 寬、通高的垂直窗縫,正對一片沙丘,不看天空也不看地面,只框住沙的曲線。療程床是一塊由抹灰砌成的固定平台,上面鋪厚墊。地坪是壓實的土質面材。空間裡沒有任何家具與裝飾,只有一個嵌在牆裡的壁龕放毛巾與一盞燭光。避免:加入落地窗與大面採光、使用木質或石材裝修、療程床使用可移動的家具、牆面做成平整的塗裝。
