Voids and Vignettesfws_work turns a small loft in Taipei into a poetic retreat using unexpected openingsByKelly Pau March 19, 2025Interiors, International (Suiyu Studio)SHAREAt 700 square feet, an artists loft in Taipei, Taiwan includes a bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and dedicated room for tea. What should feel like a dense, cramped program instead feels spacious and serene due to the thoughtful renovation byfws_work. The architects, who work between Brooklyn and Taiwan, use a dark color palette, layers of texture, and unexpected openings to ensure theres inspiration around every corner but never an overwhelming moment. The loft begins underneath the mezzanine level with a storage room to the left and a bathroom to the right, abutting the stairs. This denser area then opens up to the double-height space of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. In place of walls, shelving and partitions delineate the space to keep a free-flowing floorplan. This is especially true of the woven rattan folding doors that surround the tea room. When the doors are open, the living room seems to expand even more, but even with the doors closed, the material adds warmth to the otherwise dark and neutral space.Read more about the loft on aninteriormag.com.
