Travertine and Wood Grain Stone: Two Types of Grand Stone

A space composed of two quiet stone materials. Travertine is used for large areas: full-height main walls and flooring, in a warm beige color, with a honed matte surface, unfilled holes, and horizontal stratification, quiet and substantial, not overpowering. Wood grain stone is used in positions requiring expression: a feature wall or a console table top, with continuous straight line patterns, like straightened wood annual rings, in gray-brown with white lines, with large slabs book-matched to extend the continuous pattern. Neither stone is a flamboyant variety, but rather succeeds through scale and continuity. They are paired with dark solid wood and plain artistic plaster. Avoid: using flamboyant large-patterned stone, polishing stone to a high gloss, using small-sized stone mosaics, adding a third type of stone.

一個以兩種安靜石材構成的空間。洞石用在大面積:通高的主牆與地坪,顏色是溫暖的米黃,表面珩磨霧面,孔洞未填,紋理是水平的層理,安靜而有分量,不搶戲。木紋石用在需要表情的位置:一面端景牆或一張案桌的檯面,紋理是連續的直線條紋,像木材的年輪被拉直,顏色是灰褐帶白的線,大板對花讓紋理連續延伸。兩種石材都不是紋理張揚的品種,而是靠尺度與連續性取勝。它們與深色的實木、素色的藝術塗料搭配。避免:使用紋理張揚的大花石材、把石材拋光成高亮、使用小尺寸的石材拼貼、加入第三種石材。
