About Meet Fun Commercial
Meet Fun is an Italian restaurant interior located in Taipei, Taiwan. The floor area is about 330 square meters, divided into a bar area, a dining area, a kitchen and a storage room. Materials collected by the client family, including old tiles, oak wood, steel plates and fair-faced concrete, were reused for the surfaces. The kitchen and the bathroom were repositioned to reduce unused space and to improve the flow. Clean lines and a light color tone create a bright and open dining environment that responds to the surrounding streetscape.
