A low partition wall creates a space for a home office in this apartment living room.

When designing the interior of this apartment in Taiwan, Life Creator Design included a multi-functional living space that can be used as both a living room and a home office.

The living room side of the open room includes a couch that’s focused on a floating cabinet and TV. Both the floating cabinet and TV are mounted on a low partition wall that hides the work desk behind it.

Visible from the living room are floor-to-ceiling built-in wood-lined bookshelves that provide an abundance of storage for books, folders, plants, and decor items. There’s also a small ladder that makes it easy to reach the top shelves.

Behind the partition (or pony wall) there’s a built-in wood desk with drawers, as well as cut-outs that allow for the power cords to be kept off the workspace.

The low wall has been built in a way that still allows for interaction with people that are in the living room, making it so that the person working can still be a part of the conversation if needed.

Let’s take a look around the rest of the apartment…

The entryway has tall storage closets that float above a tiled floor, that’s highlighted with the use of hidden LED lights. A small open shelf with a light is an ideal place for keys and wallets.
