An Apartment Renovation for Family Gatherings

An apartment in Taichung, Taiwan that’s 69 square meters (~743 square feet) in size, underwent a transformation led by Z-AXIS DESIGN. First, the layout went from three rooms to just two, per the owner’s wishes, to make the main living space bigger for quality time with family. Then, each of the spaces was given a new look giving the overall apartment a simple, yet elegant aesthetic.
