Have you seen wardrobes hidden inceiling, and the stairs leading to the bedroom were hidden in the kitchen set? It turns out that this is possible! Today, we are looking at an amazing transformable apartment from Taiwan. We offer you an example of a small apartment located in the city of Taipei (northern Taiwan). Here, a family of three people lives in just 26 square meters, and at the same time, they managed to introduce traditional elements of their culture into the modern interior.
Minimalism is not an aesthetic refinement, but a necessity
Minimalism is a real find for this apartment.It attracts with its simplicity, clean lines and the supposed minimum of objects. Since the owners of the premises are adherents of meditative practices, they need space for contemplation and relaxation. The designers took this into account and even provided a place with a small waterfall for meditation. Wood was chosen as the main material in the interior. This brings you closer to nature and allows you to quickly relax.
Original transformation
The pride of this apartment are the interestingdesign ideas that helped to use the space as efficiently as possible. The main place in the apartment is the living room, where all family members gather. Thanks to the large windows, this room receives quite good daylight, which slightly increases its visual size.
In this area, a sofa was placed, which is easyIt is transformed with the help of modular cushions. This creates different combinations of seats, as well as a place to sleep. In addition, it has storage systems for things, which is a must for a family of three.
It is difficult to imagine a modern interior withoutcomputer and a work area. This small apartment was no exception. It provided such a place behind a sliding screen door. In order not to clutter the space with furniture, the designers decided to hide the wardrobes in the upper, free part of the room - on the ceiling. They are easy to pull out and push in. The kitchen is hidden behind another sliding door. There is also a transformable staircase connecting the first and second levels of the apartment. It was hidden in order to save space. So the staircase, when pushed in, does not interfere with moving around the mini-kitchen.
Keeping with traditions
On the upper level there is a bedroom witha place for tea ceremonies. Thanks to the open glass partition, daylight from the living room enters this part of the room. Tea drinking with family in the modern Far Eastern culture is an excellent way of spiritual unity and observance of ancient traditions. Despite modern influence and a dynamic pace of life, the owners of the apartment created a small island for relaxation in an urban environment. They skillfully combine spiritual practices with traditional rituals, which is reflected in the interior of the apartment.
The art of calligraphy
The owners of this apartment are quite calm andpeace-loving people. They are content with the bare necessities. Their work is connected with the art of calligraphy, which is very rare today. It is a very refined form of art, and it requires endurance, patience and harmony. Calligraphy is considered one of the forms of self-contemplation and meditation. The designers of the project took into account these features of the owners and made the interior as suitable as possible for them. On a special shelf in the living room there is an area for calligraphers' tools: a hanger with brushes (this is the main treasure of a calligrapher), jars of ink (inkwells). The designers managed to hide all the unnecessary things, to create a space in which it is easy to indulge in reflection. They managed to highlight the main objects that are important to the owners of the apartment.
