- The project is inspired by the pursuit of a balance between functionality and aesthetics. In this 191.7 square meters empty apartment, the designer took into account the needs of a family of three and the pursuit of openness in the social area by removing the partition of a room to allow for an expanded living room area to form an open plan. At the same time, to define the different areas, the designer took a rational perspective and aesthetic approach to lay Italian tiles with different patterns and colors to achieve a fusion of layers and aesthetics.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The client's family prefers color flash, especially the fresh lake blue at the entrance. Once the door opened, the colors are bright and vibrant. The ceiling in the living room is spacious and generous. The design team did not only focus on aesthetics but also functionality. The comfortable scale, detailed layout, and customized cabinetry make the occupants feel comfortable. Every detail is carefully considered, taking into account the needs and lifestyles of the occupants to create a home that is both beautiful and functional.
