About Urban Sunshine Residential Apartment
Urban Sunshine is a residential apartment interior created for a compact urban home with a high ceiling. The former mezzanine was removed and partitions were reduced to shorten movement paths. The interior is divided into four areas: a living and dining room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a multifunctional room. Flexible translucent partitions replace solid walls, so privacy is available while daylight and an open feel are kept. The terrace entrance was rebuilt as a semi-outdoor living room with storage, finished with wood veneers in warm earth tones.
