The Design

About City Corner Design intérieur résidentiel

City Corner est un projet d'aménagement intérieur résidentiel pour un appartement d'environ 100 mètres carrés situé à New Taipei City. La configuration d'origine, tout en longueur et étroite, limitait la lumière naturelle et la circulation. La cuisine et la chambre principale ont été réorientées, les ouvertures des fenêtres agrandies et des meubles ajourés utilisés comme cloisons, permettant à la lumière du jour de pénétrer plus profondément dans les pièces. Des murs peints en gris, des carreaux à motif de bois, des panneaux de fibres de bois massif OSB, du verre gris et du fer noir mat composent un caractère industriel vintage dans des tonalités Morandi apaisantes. Des portes dissimulées, des meubles mobiles et des étagères suspendues en fer offrent des rangements modulables.
