Rock-Cut Interiors: Walls as Mountain Cross-Sections

A guest room carved into sandstone, with three walls and the ceiling being the original断面 of the rock, retaining chisel marks, horizontal sedimentary layers, and color gradients. Only a transparent dust-proofing solidification treatment is applied, without smoothing or coloring. The fourth wall is a full-height floor-to-ceiling glass panel, facing a canyon. Furniture is minimal and all low-lying: a bed embedded in a rock niche, a stone counter extending from the rock, and a few dark leather chairs. The flooring is polished stone of the same color. Lighting consists only of low-level sources embedded in the floor and niches, illuminating the rock textures from below. Avoid: smoothing walls or applying decorative panels, adding woodwork and soft furnishings, overhead lighting from the ceiling, tall furniture obstructing the rock walls.

一間鑿在砂岩裡的客房,三面牆與天花都是岩石的原始斷面,保留鑿痕、沉積的水平層理與顏色的漸變,只做防塵的透明固化處理,不抹平也不上色。第四面是通高的落地玻璃,正對峽谷。家具極少且全部是低矮的:一張嵌在岩壁凹龕裡的床、一道從岩石延伸出的石檯、幾件深色皮革的座椅。地坪是磨平的同色石材。照明只有嵌在地坪與凹龕裡的低位光源,讓岩石的紋理從下往上被照亮。避免:牆面抹平或貼裝飾板、加入木作與軟包、照明從天花打下、家具做高遮住岩壁。
