Venice-Penthouse-2
上海
An interior precedent for carving an intimate reading nook and bookshelf alcove out of a wall mass, finished in high-gloss red lacquer to contrast with neutral walls and warm timber floors.
- What we like about this project
- The radiator cover is integrated seamlessly into the perforated lower panel of the vibrant red bookshelf unit.

- Geometry
- Rectangular living volume featuring a pitched ceiling with exposed trusses; a large deep-set rectangular alcove is cut into the side wall following the stair soffit line.
- Structural guess
- Timber roof truss system over masonry or framed interior partitions
- Spatial scale
- Domestic scale; standard residential ceiling height rising to a pitched truss roof, with a human-sized reading nook recessed into the wall.
- Lighting
- Warm ambient interior lighting with localized accent light inside the red alcove and soft daylight from unseen openings washing the white walls and ceiling beams.
- Atmosphere
- Cozy, vibrant, and sheltered, balancing expansive white-trussed overhead space with a deeply saturated nook of refuge.
- Environmental context
- Residential interior space with visible connection to adjacent yellow-walled room and framed views outside the immediate frame.
- Spatial experience
- A low, intimate reading alcove is nested within the main living space, offering a distinct sense of spatial compression and refuge contrasted against the open, high-ceilinged room.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal book rows and diagonal panel lines in the red alcove echo the pitched geometry of the ceiling beams above.
- Style reading
- Eclectic contemporary residential interior with bold chromatic accents
