About Study Reading Environment
Study is an interior design for a six floor reading space in Taiwan, covering 496 square feet. The project applies the idea of home to every level, so each floor offers a different feeling. The first floor holds the main reading area, where a stepped platform suits children. A tall book wall emphasizes the high ceiling. The mezzanine combines reading, meeting and dining functions. The second floor is a study with a book wall, a glass display case and a fireplace. Transparent glass connects the levels, while soft gray blue tones and light wood veneer create a calm atmosphere.

- Production Technology
- The project is as simple as possible, and expresses a variety of design vocabulary through the repeated application of the same material, which is similar to the role played by gray and blue in this case, whether as the main color or as an accent color, the appearance of gray and blue creates a connection, and then leads to the vertical floor relationship.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge of this case is how to depict the different spatial representations of each floor, and at the same time tie up the coherence of the vertical floors, so as to give a complete and harmonious situational experience.
- Research
- In the face of different space requirements, this time it is not only necessary to take into account the flow of people, the relationship between reading and dining areas, but also across the setting of offices and private residences, and check the functions of each aspect, she said, the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere is the main axis of the relationship between floors, so paying attention to light, ventilation, and leaving white space at the right time has become the key to this case.
- Inspiration
- Use curved extensions to create cabinets and raised floors with different functions. Soft gray blue and light wood veneer lead into an ocean-like reading space.
