In a common multi-family residential space in Taiwan, people often encounter such issues as large beams and imbalanced structures. Based on the residents’ needs, the designer integrates small areas and broadens the space. The long table area serves both a living room and a dining room. The ceiling connects to the beam through oblique angles and curves, extending the vision upwards and makes space look broader. Covering the beam with large zebra wood and titanium-plated metal, we relieve the pressure of the space and turn the beam into a vivid spotlight in the public sphere.
