Located in Taipei City, Taiwan, the vintage inspired space spans 181 square meters, and is over 40 years old. Typically remodel projects of older homes involve knocking down walls, making room for new and improved layouts. In search of the perfect modern industrial space, the team at CHI-TORCH decided to embrace the age of this gorgeous refurbished apartment. To respect its history, CHI-TORCH deliberately made conscious efforts to retain details of time manifestation and proudly displaying building materials that many try to conceal. The remodel was performed at the end of last year, and features herringbone parquet flooring, steel constructed furniture, and plenty of naturally unfinished, exposed brick walls running throughout the property. The concept is blended with minimalism and industrial. Polished concrete floors were also used to help regulate temperature, and large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood the open living space. To sum, CHI-TORCH passionately designed and selected pieces that are as much about function as style to add historic and modern co-existing spirits to the most thoughtfully designed home.
