Suspended and Transparent
Suspended and Transparent is a commercial office interior of 80 square meters located in Taichung, Taiwan. The layout divides the office area, the meeting area and the negotiation area. Stone, iron and gray mirror surfaces are combined with glass and an exterior wooden grille. The grille can be rotated by hand to adjust indoor airflow and guide natural light. A cypress ceiling and green walls soften the stone surroundings. The top of the outer wall is suspended above the ceiling with iron pieces, creating a floating visual effect. The panels can be made from reclaimed wood.
