Raw is the interior design of a four-story house in Taiwan. The design applies the wabi-sabi idea through simple lines, light colors and a minimum of decoration.

Open shelving and hidden cabinets reduce the visual volume of the facades. The first floor holds the living and dining area, and the upper floors hold bedrooms, storage and a study room.
