Room Without a Bed: The Floor as a Sleeping Surface

A room without a bed: the entire floor is a place to lie down. In a guest room, there is no discernible bed: the entire floor of the room is raised to form a continuously undulating soft terrain, covered with thick padding and removable, washable textiles. There are several gently rising areas and several slightly concave areas, where one can lie down anywhere. The edges of the terrain curl upwards along the walls to form backrests. The only hard surfaces are a small area at the entrance and the wet zone. Therefore, the space has no clear furniture arrangement and no single correct way of use. All lighting is hidden in the depressions of the terrain and the ceiling coves, illuminating the undulating curved surfaces from below. Avoid: discernible beds or sofas appearing, the terrain being made into a flat large platform, using non-removable fabrics, direct lighting from the ceiling.

一間客房裡沒有一張可辨認的床:整個房間的地坪被抬高成一個連續起伏的軟質地形,表面包覆厚的軟墊與可拆洗的織品,有幾處緩緩隆起、幾處微微下凹,人可以在任何一處躺下。地形的邊緣順著牆面向上捲起形成靠背。唯一的硬質表面是入口處的一小塊與濕區。因此空間沒有明確的家具配置,也沒有正確的使用方式。照明全部藏在地形的凹陷處與天花的凹槽,由低處照亮起伏的曲面。避免:出現可辨認的床或沙發、地形做成平整的大通鋪、使用不可拆洗的面料、照明從天花直射。
