For the 'T Residence,' Atelier Boter arranged an interestingly divided floor plan. Located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the apartment is approximately 497-square-feet. The designers focused on producing a modern space that had adequate flow and didn't feel too restricted. Due to the size of the dwelling, Atelier Boter had to think outside of the box. Thus, the studio created a multi-functional dynamic through a divided floor plan. For example, a curtain serves as a separation between the living room and the bedroom or a desk and a shelving unit serve as practitioners that divide the kitchen and the living area.
The color palette of the T Residence is kept to a mix of dark colors and the warmth of the wood finish.
