About Balance Інтэр'ер кватэры

"Balance" — гэта інтэр'ер кватэры, які аб'ядноўвае прыватнае жыло з домашнім офісам. Дом плошчай 168 квадратных метраў уключае 125 квадратных метраў унутранай прасторы і 40 квадратных метраў балконаў з зеленню. Вокны ад падлогі да стропа акружаюць пакоі, а паўпразрыстыя жалюзі змякчаюць дзённае святло. Мэбля з нізкімі спінкамі і рашэцісты кніжны стэлаж захоўваюць адкрытыя лініі агляду ва ўсёй грамадскай зоне, дзе стол для абеду і перамоваў служыць як для сустрэч, так і для сямейных візітаў. Убудаваныя паліцы забяспечваюць месца для захоўвання і даюць хатняму кату прастору для даследавання.

Unique Properties: This home office and residence in a high rise apartment building features floor to ceiling glass windows throughout the apartment as well as cat friendly furniture, shelving, and other spaces.

Low backed and unobstructive furnishings combined with the floor to ceiling windows provide a greater sense of space.
Dimensions & Packaging: This 168m2 residence includes 125 m2 of indoor space and 40m2 of outdoor balconies surrounding the apartment on all sides with green space; the layout includes a master bedroom with en suite, a yet to be furnished guest or kids room, a half bath and an open kitchen, living room and dining room area.

Production Technology: Minimalist design elements allow for a clean and efficient allocating of space. A low backed sofa welcomes guests, while not disrupting the line of sight, and patterned echoing the lattice bookshelf unit unifying the public space. The apartment finishes and furnishings draw on a pallet of dark browns, light grays, and white with stone and imported tile, mixed with brushed metal and baked enamel finishes. Built in shelving and workspaces are incorporated into the living room and bedrooms.
Design Challenge: The main challenge for this space was maintaining all floor to ceiling glass walls throughout the residence and making the best use of the remaining wall space for storage, cabinets, and other furnishings. Situating the kitchen along the main public space was another challenge, but a breakfast bar now provides a boundary between the spaces. Though bedrooms space is limited, the clients reduced each room and created a short hallway separating the two providing a sense of separation and privacy.
Research: The main planning for this space was the consideration of the layout to realize a multifunctional residential workspace for two designers. Some time was spent exploring particular lighting fixtures, especially the imported copper entryway wall lamp which projects eclipse like shadows. Other research went into cat friendly wall units and furnishings.
Inspiration: The main inspiration is a living and workspace for a couple who are both designers. Preserving private spaces while opening up a public work and meeting space was elemental in the open layout of the residence. Merging the indoor with the outdoor space, translucent blinds cover large windows opening on balconies with greenery. Integrating accessible open shelving and other cat friendly features were a requirement to provide ample exploration for the client cat.
Project Duration: This project finished in April 2020 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Entering the apartment, you are greeted a clean short hall with abundant natural light from floor to ceiling windows, and in the main public space the dining and conference table establishes this multifunctional space. The eye is drawn across the space to the far floor to ceiling glass wall, while a comfortable living room and waiting area welcomes visitors. In the back of the apartment, the two bedrooms are tucked away, and connected by a short hallway.
