Bi-Wabisabi Micro Residence

Bi-Wabisabi

Bi Wabisabi is a micro residence in Taipei, Taiwan, with a floor area of 26 square meters. The interior design is based on the travel memories of the owners in Japan. A nostalgic mood is created through a careful division of the small space. The narrow, vertical height of the home is used as an advantage, and a bookshelf reaches from the floor to the ceiling. The bookshelf recalls a bookstore in Japan that the owners admire. Completed in 2019, Bi Wabisabi allows the owners to revisit treasured memories in daily life.

Bi-Wabisabi Micro Residence by Shiho Chu was identified as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Bi-Wabisabi Micro Residence received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that rewards exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
