Fws_work has brought a sense of tranquility to an apartment in Qinpu, a fast-developed city in Taiwan.

The owner is an airline pilot, eager to have a getaway home from his work, which requires constantly traveling with short stays.

The project focuses on creating a light-filled open space with a neutral palette of tactile materials to form the sensory warmth and relaxation while highlighting the owner's passion for cooking and whiskey testing with a contrasting, moody kitchen bar. The selective materials and joinery details evoke the owner's memories of childhood country home as well as Mediterranean retreats during travels.

This project has been shortlisted in the apartment interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
