XS House Taipei a prototype for smart living in a metropolitan city

15 Sep 2021 News

A project by Phoebe Says Wow Architects, XS House Taipei is a 33 square meter guest house prototype for smart living in a metropolitan city. The target user of the space is expected to enjoy a spatial quality that satisfies one’s solitary moments while accommodating for a sociable mood when desired.

Making the most of an extra small space, a versatile storage wall was installed and connected to wardrobes on the mezzanine level and extended to the kitchen at the lower level. Birchwood gives a sense of warmth and lives which calms people while the white glazed tiles with vibrant pink grouting lift one's mood.

Multi-level seating encourages a dynamic conversation within the flat. The intention again is to create a cozy and fun living experience, surpassing preconceived expectations of living in a small home.

The architects note that that simple line works throughout were demanding on the carpentry and masonry since little tolerance was allowed.
