With a black hairline tainted metal wall stable door , the kitchen is at the window less end of the open plan living and dining room . An open kitchen serves perfectly as a breakfast bar during the day while at night it is transformed . There is actually a wine shelf hidden within that can be slid open to close up the cooking area . An ambient light from the glass shelf transforms the Calacatta marble Infinity bar into a stylish home bar for movie or party nights .
Not limited for dining use only , to fit in the busy life people have nowadays , a detailed leather seamed-back dining table is showcases adjacent to the kitchen bar which can also be a luxury home office table . An invisible to the natural eye light source shines directly from this modern Vibia horizontal glass pendant providing just enough sparkle and shine together to light the space perfectly .
A rare luxury in a modern apartment is a high ceiling and this apartment is fortunate enough to have 9ft high , floor-to-ceiling windows wrapped from one side of the living room to the other , affording views of the tallest building in Taiwan , Taipei 101 , which is just one block away .
A neutral based MORTEX coating has been applied on the wall and pillars to create a unique aesthetic texture to frame the living room . There ’ s nothing more to take away , instead one can fully sink into the large Flexform sofa and enjoy the natural light flooding into this calm space .
A freestanding flue-less spherical fireplace from Vauni Globe can be lit day or night providing a natural focal point in this room and creating ambience .
