Cozy White

Cozy White is a residential interior design for a maisonette in Taipei, Taiwan. The home was planned for a family of four.

White Home is a residential interior design for a family home of 120 square metres. The interior uses a monochromatic white palette with curved furniture and refined fittings.

The open garden allows neighbors and pedestrians to walk through and stay.
