About City Corner Elamu sisearhitektuur

City Corner on umbes 100-ruutmeetrise korteri elamu sisearhitektuur Uus-Taipei linnas. Algne pikk ja kitsas planeering piiras loomulikku valgust ja liikumist. Köök ja peamagamistuba orienteeriti ümber, aknaavasid suurendati ning vaheseintena kasutati läbipaistvaid avatud kappe, mistõttu jõuab päevavalgus ruumidesse sügavamale. Hallilt värvitud seinad, puidustruktuuriga plaadid, OSB-puitkiudplaat, hall klaas ja must matt teras loovad vaoshoitud Morandi toonides vintage-tööstusliku iseloomu. Peidetud uksed, liigutatavad kapid ja rippuvad rauast riiulid lisavad paindlikke hoiustamisvõimalusi.
