Merak
Merak is a residential interior design for a new apartment in Taiwan. The interior area is approximately 99.1 square meters and holds three rooms, a living room, a dining room and two bathrooms. Black, white and grey tones are combined with architectural concrete, metal and black wood grain to form a calm and balanced setting. Red accents mark the social area, where a kitchen island serves for dining and for meeting guests. An electric fireplace is placed below the television wall. The entrance wall was removed to create a smooth flow of circulation with minimal remodeling.
Merak Residence by Chen Hsu Interior Design was highlighted as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Merak Residence earned the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2024. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade that honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
