About Balance Woonhuis Interieurontwerp

Book Text: Balance is een interieurontwerp voor een woning in Taipei, Taiwan. De woonkamer en de bibliotheek zijn zonder barrière met elkaar verbonden. Een U-vormig houten paneel loopt van de muur tot aan het plafond, waarbij de balk aan het zicht wordt onttrokken en een onzichtbare scheiding tussen de twee zones ontstaat. De bank en het bureau zijn tot een geheel samengevoegd om ruimte te winnen en meerdere gebruiksmogelijkheden te bieden. De televisiewand is uitgevoerd in diepgrijze natuurlijke leisteen, die contrasteert met de warme houten oppervlakken. Kasten fungeren als scheidingswanden, bieden extra opbergruimte en sturen de circulatie door de ruimte.
