Jen Liu · CLIENT: Chengguo Interior Design
Subtle Interplay of Ink and Glow is a residential interior design for a 99.17 square meter apartment in Taipei, Taiwan. Several existing walls were removed to open the kitchen to the living and dining areas. A kitchen island forms the center of the home, offering storage in built-in drawers and cabinets and serving as a preparation area, a light dining spot and a study place. A multifunctional room with a half-glass partition and adjustable blinds works as both a study and a guest room. Energy-efficient LED lighting and recyclable building materials were used.
