About Stacks Residential House
Stacks is a residential interior design for an open-plan studio of 82.645 square meters. The layout follows a natural and minimalist wabi-sabi approach, with careful attention to light and shadow. Layered lines and surfaces express the theme of stacks. The television wall has curved corners and built-in cabinetry made from eco-friendly wood panels certified for health and environmental safety, which reduce toxins such as formaldehyde. The wooden floor of the television area meets the raised platform of the kitchen island bar. A grille partition screen forms the bathroom door.
