About Balance 아파트 인테리어

발란스(Balance)는 개인 주거 공간과 홈 오피스를 결합한 아파트 인테리어이다. 168제곱미터 규모의 이 주택은 125제곱미터의 실내 공간과 녹지가 조성된 40제곱미터의 발코니로 구성된다. 바닥부터 천장까지 이어지는 창이 각 실을 감싸며, 반투명 블라인드가 자연광을 부드럽게 걸러준다. 낮은 등받이의 가구와 격자형 책장은 공용 공간 전반의 시선을 트이게 하며, 이곳에 놓인 다이닝 겸 회의용 테이블은 업무 미팅과 가족 모임을 모두 수용한다. 붙박이 선반은 수납 공간을 제공하는 동시에 반려묘가 탐색할 수 있는 공간이 되어준다.

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. This apartment provides both a clean working living area that invites clients in a professional atmosphere as well as family visitors in a more intimate, comfortable setting. 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.
