Tsai Residence
Taipei City, Taiwan
Project Featured on Sep 30, 2014
Nowadays, in cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei, and London, often younger people cannot afford to buy property because of high prices. This is the phenomenon young people have to face, and we believe that in this situation, architects have to take responsibility to control the budget while maintaining the quality of the space.
We explored the possibility of designing a rental property as a good place to live for younger clients.
The apartment is being rented by a couple working in the city center, who asked Tai & Architectural Design to create an interior that can be reverted once their lease is up. This property can only be rented for five years from the government and the user needs to return it in the same condition. We kept the design as minimal as possible so it can be easily reverted to its original state.
All the surfaces are painted white to keep the space bright and clean, including the ductwork and electric cables exposed across the ceiling. We chose the color to blur the profile of the space, and make the interior as minimal as possible to celebrate the purity of the space.
The front door opens into the living and dining room, which includes a large projector screen on the wall facing a gray sofa. A door in the large window at the end of the space leads onto a small balcony surrounded by glass balustrades, so the view across the city remains unobstructed from the living area. White cupboards run under the screen and match the simple dining table, situated beside the separate kitchen.
The corridor from the main space leads to the private rooms, with the master bedroom and en suite bathroom located at the end of this corridor. The study and storage space are situated on one side of the corridor, while another bedroom and bathroom are positioned on the other. Simple freestanding shelving units sit against the walls in the dining area and study, slotting under the ceiling beams.
We kept all the flexibility of the interior and made the storage movable so it can be reused when the contract expired. White pendant lights in various shapes hang above the dining table, study desk, and bedside tables. Pastel tones used on tables, bedding, and cushions provide hints of colors, and wooden dining chairs bring a touch of warmth to the otherwise stark interior.
