About Shuttles of Light Residence
Shuttles of Light is a residential interior design for a detached house in Taiwan. The seven-story home covers 413.7 square meters of indoor space and is planned for a family of three generations. Floating steel stairs and a mezzanine with a retractable floor connect the levels and bring daylight to each floor. The footprint of partitions and stairs is reduced to allow more free space. The living room and the kitchen exchange their usual positions to improve indoor movement. Walls and ceilings are coated with lotos paint for a mineral-like texture.
