The hardwood flooring, dining table, bookshelves and TV stand, are all designed in beveled geometry. Even for the boardwalk and the hygrophyte pool in the balcony, their geometry and setting are all arranged in beveled style. The environment-friendly materials are exclusively adopted in constructions, including veneer lumbers, reclaimed hardwoods and steels.

The maisonette has an old rooftop addition. It is common for Taipei walkups, portraying the disorder and autonomy of living conditions. The design wants to preserve this past. Not only the original truss and decking of the rooftop addition are preserved but also the traces of deteriorated walls are saved with clear coating. To warm up the industrial vibe, planks of pallets are reused throughout the penthouse, forming the furniture collection and the backdrop wall with color stripes. While the brick and fair-faced concrete walls help anchoring the new and old elements.

With all prior compartments knocked down, a long table horizontally derived from the central pillar is parallel rested under one of the axes along the cross-beam and protrudes bilaterally to define functional spaces.

In this project, there is an inevitable long linear circulation in this slender-shaped apartment. That being said, with the concept of Axis and Lines throughout the project, spaces are designed to interact with the family's activities. Dark wood flooring links up all spaces as well as divides servant and served spaces. All objects including shelves, louvers, OSB boards, and the knotted hemp ropes inter-echo creating the relationship of woven lines in the space. Anchoring the axis, the curved castle-like storage softens the overall geometry.
