Residential Building and Office

Ganna Studio, Taipei

The origin of both the living area and office of the Ganna Studio is the architecture of ancient Taipei. In order to maintain historic elements, the building structure of the complex was left untouched. Every area displays multi-functionality, which makes a perfect balance between the work and private spheres possible. The living room doubles as a showroom and business meetings may be held around the dining table. If required, the living and working areas can be separated by integrated panels to ensure that quietness is maintained.

Statement by the Jury

The clever layout of the restricted space in the Ganna Studio offers areas for both relaxation and work. What is more, the harmonious combination of old and new and the interior design traditions of East and West are highly successful.
