The Taiwanese studio 2Books design is known for its ability to create minimalist interiors in which everything is thought out to the smallest detail. It was this approach that the designers followed when designing this apartment in Taipei and turned a dark room with an area of 36.5 sq.m into a comfortable living space.

Taking advantage of the impressive ceiling height, the former owners added a mezzanine, which allowed to increase the area of the apartment, but at the same time the common space seemed dark and cramped. To remedy the situation, the team removed the parts of the mezzanine that were next to the windows and filled the whole house with sunlight.

The central volume, which includes a bathroom and a pantry, delimits the zones of the living room, dining room and kitchen, the latter of which opens onto a small balcony. The bedroom, located on the mezzanine, offers a view of the city and the common space below. On the upper floor there is also a bathroom, a dressing room and another room that can be used as a guest room or an office.

The whole apartment - from floor to ceiling - is decorated in white. The only exception is the central volume, lined with birch plywood. Another highlight of the project was an elegant metal staircase with a thin balustrade, which seems almost weightless.
