A 40-square-metre apartment in Taichung, remade from first principles. The original layout was a familiar compression—two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, each sealed off from the next and from the light. The transformation began by taking those walls down: not as a gesture, but as a logic. A single central core holds all the services; everything else is allowed to flow.
Rails in the ceiling trace the ghost of possible walls. Sliding glass panels and textile curtains let spaces form and dissolve—a bedroom closes off, a study appears, the kitchen hides behind a curtain. Materials shift as the uses shift: mosaic tiles give way to herringbone walnut, wood slats to fluted glass. Light moves through all of it, catching on brushed nickel and terrazzo, giving each reconfigured moment its own atmosphere.
