Located on the 15th floor of an apartment building facing south, we quickly observed that living space of Chen’s has the best spatial quality of the unit. The owner only wanted to renovate the living, dining and kitchen space with some minimal functional additions in the two bedrooms.
The owner requested to have the stove hidden from the entrance. However, having a partition in such small space would make the space even smaller. In order to fulfil the owner’s request, we created a functional partition combined with a shoe changing area with storage, and used small tiles as a material transition as the partition turns 90 degrees and stretches into the corridor.
This corner tile wall has become the basis of the plan design and the main core of the open space. The tile wall has a mutual existence in the living, dining and kitchen space; it is not only a component, but also a spatial connector.
The Japanese rectangular tiles on the wall reflects the natural light differently at different angles; from the perspective as one enters the unit, from the perspective of one sitting on the sofa in the living room, also from the perspective when one sits at the dining table, the tile wall gives different expressions throughout the day. This is the spatial connection we try to establish.
In order to further present the corner tile wall, we merged the ceiling of the entrance, corridor and kitchen into one, with the side of the ceiling end with a birch wall. In this way we retain the visual permeability of the three spaces, at the same time maximize the good spatial quality of the living space.
We transformed the small bedroom next to the kitchen to a dining space. The initial door is removed for a bigger wall opening complemented with a wooden door frame. When viewed from the kitchen, the layered materiality of the wall, door frame, furniture and venetian blind expands the space visually.
Lastly, we added a small storage room behind the shoe cabinet, which solves the hard to organize corner space, and provides a formal storage space that conventional apartments often lack.
