INTERIOR / RESIDENTIAL
During the shoot, I was surprised that this project involved the complete renovation of a 77-year-old house. It’s quite rare to find such a multi-story standalone house in Taipei. After seeing the photos from before the renovation and comparing them to the results achieved through the designer’s hard work, it’s clear that this old house has been truly revitalized.
Once a dilapidated structure, has been meticulously transformed into a modern and comfortable home. The renovation preserves the original character while introducing contemporary design elements that enhance both functionality and style. Despite the challenges posed by the house’s age and condition, the project successfully revitalizes the space, creating a warm and inviting environment. The result is a home that blends the charm of the old with the conveniences of the new, offering a refreshed living experience in a space with history and character.

A dim interior is a drawback of narrow houses. The designer cleverly incorporated light strips into the stair railings, adding warmth to the space and enhancing safety when going up and down the stairs.
The specially selected and designed folding mirrors and double basins make life more convenient and add interest to the space.
The dark green bedside wall is decorated with gold metal wall lamps, giving this small corner a sense of luxury.
The designer said, “This project is a narrow house, so we used French double doors to create a sense of spaciousness upon entering. We intentionally lowered the headboard height and layered the space with various lighting fixtures, such as wall sconces, pendant lights, and floor lamps, to reduce the feeling of decoration and eliminate the defects of the house itself.
