About Essence of Time Muundo wa Ndani wa Makazi

Kiini cha Wakati ni muundo wa ndani wa makazi kwa ghorofa ya mita za mraba 40 katika Jiji la Taipei. Mpango huo unajumuisha ukumbi wa kuingilia, eneo la kuishi, eneo la kulia chakula, vyumba viwili vya kulala, bafu moja na jikoni. Kuta zisizo za lazima ziliondolewa ili kufungua nafasi, na rangi ya madini ya kijivu-nyeupe ilipakwa kwenye kuta na sakafu ya madini. Ukuta wenye mviringo hutenganisha ukumbi wa kuingilia na eneo linalofuatana nalo na hufanya kazi kama kitovu cha kuvutia macho. Mfululizo wa makabati ya mbao hutoa nafasi ya kuhifadhi. Mpangilio wa rangi moja na miundo tofauti ya nyuso hufuata mtindo wa Japandi.

In order to achieve the openness and cohesiveness within the space, designer removed unnecessary architectural wall and applied white-grey mineral paint onto walls and mineral flooring.
