White Plaster and Earthen Walls

A hand-troweled Korean-style wall. Traditionally, it's an earthen wall made of yellow earth mixed with straw, with a rough, fibrous surface. The contemporary version is white or off-white plaster, with subtle hand-troweled marks and slight undulations, completely matte. The wall surface is divided into sections by wooden beams and columns, with each section being a complete plastered panel. Avoid: using smooth, uniform latex paint, using wallpaper and veneers, making the wall a cold pure white, adding decorations and paintings to the wall.

一面手抹的韓式牆。傳統的做法是黃土混稻草的土壁,表面粗糙帶纖維;當代的版本則是白色或米白的灰泥,表面有細微的手抹痕跡與輕微的起伏,完全霧面。牆面被木構的樑柱分割成一格一格,每一格是一片完整的抹面。避免:使用平整均勻的乳膠漆、使用壁紙與貼面、把牆面做成純白的冷調、在牆上加入裝飾與掛畫。
