Definition:
A recess is a space carved inward rather than outward, often overlooked at first glance. It can shelter objects, shadows, or quiet moments away from direct exposure. Recesses soften architecture, giving walls places to pause. The word suggests depth that invites stillness rather than movement. It captures space designed for containment and calm.
