Atelier Tao + C was tasked with the project of overhauling a U-shaped room in Shanghai. Although presenting with some design obstacles, the irregular format of the dwelling allows the architects to be creative in their concept and to produce a truly unique aesthetic.
The U-shaped room is fronted by a mesmerizing bay window. At 42 square meters, the living abode is identified by a "multifunctional wooden volume" which is aptly compared to "a large piece of furniture." The maple plywood addition contributes to functionality. Essentially, "the function of walls and floors is replaced by furniture."
The proximity of living areas in the U-shaped room truly brings a higher level of connectivity to people who reside in or are visiting the apartment.
