The Chang Residence / 2BOOKS design
The Chang Residence is located in a residential area in central Taipei. Although its interior area was only 76 square meters, its square structure was used to create a symmetrical layout, allowing us to evoke a sense of orderliness and openness. In terms of spatial distribution, the design opens up the entire public area, replacing partitions with exposed structural beams and columns, allowing for fluid distinctions between the living area, restaurant, and kitchen. Hidden behind a walnut wall is the bedroom and bathroom. We aimed to maximize natural lighting while maintaining privacy. Moreover, the directions of partition walls were adjusted to minimize the obstruction of natural light. The central area of the interior, where natural light is weakest, features stainless steel door leaves that help scatter light from the front and back windows, keeping the space bright.
