The Design

About Sounds of Silence Interior de Apartamento Residencial

Sounds of Silence é o interior de um apartamento residencial situado no coração da cidade de Taichung. O projeto abrange um espaço interno de 115 metros quadrados. As áreas de jantar, estar e estudo integram-se num único espaço aberto que acolhe a vida em família. Uma ampla parede-cortina emoldura a paisagem exterior como um quadro e conduz a luz natural para o interior dos ambientes. Um corredor de entrada mais escuro, com uma porta automática semitransparente, cria uma transição serena a partir do exterior. O teto foi nivelado a uma altura uniforme, conferindo ao interior um caráter simples e silencioso.
