Each of these apartment interiors was designed by 23Design to form a sense of solar serenity in the modern world. With a gray and white decorative palette, elegant contemporary furniture silhouettes and a minimalist approach, these two light-filled apartment projects reassure sanctuaries you can find after a day in the bustling city. The first interior we will visit has a false roof design that creates an open and sunny feel, even on a gray day. Properly built warehouses line the walls and contain a hidden doorway. The second serene gray and white interior has a solar boost with light yellow accents, and a glass wall home office that shares the distribution of natural light.
Measuring 115 square meters (1245 square feet), this apartment interior is located in a tall building that faces the Tamsui River in Zhuwei District of New Taipei City. Rainy days at the end of winter previously evoked a sad atmosphere in this place, but now every day is overshadowed by the light of a false skylight that extends over the study area and the walkway that leads to the kitchen.
On sunny days the skylight is unnecessary, thanks to the wonderfully large windows of the apartment. Furniture in this living room is pale, to bring light deep into the space.
A dark gray rug lays a contrasting base for a pure white coffee table. A black console unit floats a complete dark accent along the focal wall of the living room.
Track lighting along the edge of the room, along with understated floating wall shelves and wall-mounted units, creates a gentle wash of atmospheric light.
Concrete walls and the matching roof window give the apartment interior a cool industrial appeal.
The living room opens directly onto the dining room, where a wall shelf creates a decorative moment.
Many additional bookshelves and storage opportunities line the wall behind the study area.
The curly white warehouses and shelves build a glossy cladding within the gray concrete architecture.
The white furniture finish cheerfully reflects the light of the massive roof installation.
A doorway hides inside the run of warehouses, quietly camouflaged inside the white finish …
… With the door closed, you would never know it was there.
The cross-sectional skylight builds a formwork ceiling effect behind the main beam.
The neat intersections of the skylight are echoed in the shelf patterns below it.
When lit, the long skylight creates an ethereal corridor of light.
The ceiling acquires a character of curved cut and contrasting ceiling paneling.
The curved ceiling feature accentuates the smaller curve of the wall.
White built-in closets are elegantly cut with black recessed handles.
This serene Scandi inspired gray and white interior got a colorful twist with light yellow accents. The yellow accent lounge looks sunny and warm even during winter weather.
Simplicity lines and limited colors make for a no-frills space that feels peaceful. Black and dark gray accents sharpen the aesthetic with a balance of bold moments. Scattered cushions on the sofa arrange a trilogy of tones in light gray, dark gray and vibrant yellow. A coordinating yellow ottoman makes a solar extension to the couch, which also serves as a window seat.
The wall in front of the sofa builds a dominant black focus in the room. Indoor plants and a vase of foliage separate the black expanse with moments of uplifting greenery.
The living room opens onto the dining room, which is decorated with a pair of yellow glass eye-catching lights.
Yellow artwork adds a sparkle vibrant color to the dark living room feature wall.
A yellow book accentuates the round coffee tables in the center of the living room to further the colored thread.
Behind the sofa, perforated metal plates were used to build the home office. The holes blur the relationship between the public living space and the private workplace.
The metal plates create a dialogue of common light and shadow that grows interest in the interior.
In the home office, one of the yellow dining chairs serves as a desk chair.
A mid-century-inspired desk strikes a bold silhouette in front of the white metal screen wall.
The contents of the home office cast fascinating shadows from the outside of the perforated panel walls.
Much like the living room, a dark focal wall commands the study. A comfortable accent chair lightens the look.
In the bedroom, dark wooden cabinets contrast the bright decorative scheme, along with a tailored bedside design with atmospheric backlighting. Curly white sheets are coordinated with pale gray and white wall covering across the head feature wall.
A dressing area is built into the wall of cupboards and drawers at the foot of the bed. Small shelves are built into the side of the units to house a collection of cosmetics around a custom cut mirror.
