About Balance Atin'ny Trano Fonenana

Ny Balance dia atin'ny trano fonenana izay mampitambatra ny trano fonenana manokana amin'ny biraom-pianakaviana. Ny trano miharo 168 metatra toradroa dia misy toerana anaty trano 125 metatra toradroa ary balcony misy zava-maitso 40 metatra toradroa. Varavarankely manomboka amin'ny rihana ka hatramin'ny tafo no manodidina ny efitrano, ary varo-mangatsakatsaka mahalefaka ny fahazavan'ny andro. Fanaka ambany vodiny sy sarona boky misy grilajy no mitazona ny fahitana malalaka manerana ny faritra iombonana, izay misy latabatra fisakafoanana sady fivoriana mahasahana ny fivoriana sy ny fitsidihan'ny fianakaviana. Fitehirizana miditra ao anaty rindrina no manome toerana fitehirizana sady manome elanelana ho an'ny saka mipetraka ao hikarohana.

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.
