About Madam Platinum Residence
Madam Platinum is a residential interior design created for a retired couple in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. The home covers about 93 square meters and contains a living room, a dining area, a kitchen, a study, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Safety features are integrated into the interior so that they remain visually discreet. A wall-like partition defines an independent entrance area with storage, and a long bench extends from the dining area for putting on and taking off shoes. Structural columns are softened by lighting strips, chamfers and decorative items.
