Fun House: A Dated, Traditional Home in Taiwan Is Updated by IIMOSTUDIO

Hired by a young couple returning to Taiwan to raise their baby, IIMOSTUDIO renovated a dated, 25-year-old house that was traditional in style and not the owners’ taste. The original layout was too broken up into smaller spaces and there weren’t enough windows making the interior dark and drab. To top it off, there were walls outside that were blocking what little views they could enjoy from the few windows. All the issues led to the freshly designed Fun House, which was completed on a budget and within the constraints of older construction.

The interior was opened up and given a modern transformation with the use of bold colors, a mix of materials, and contemporary furnishings.

The kitchen was given a wooden island for additional storage and counter space. Large windows now frame the lush green views surrounding the home.

The dark bathroom transitions into a white alcove where the freestanding bathtub rests.
