The Design

About Slow Living Residential Apartment

Slow Living is a residential apartment interior design of 524 square meters in Taichung City, Taiwan. The original layout was kept, so the furnishings follow the existing air conditioning pipes and flooring. Old fittings were removed, the ceiling was renovated, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system was planned again. A partial wall clad in thin slate forms the television wall and widens the sense of space. Walls of natural paint and rice straw, a wood grille and plants beside the window create a calm and plain atmosphere.
