"Terra" apartment, Taipei | Taiwan
With "Terra", the founders of the Taiwanese Office Ja studio have made their personal housing dream concrete – a quiet homage to material, colour and atmosphere. The name refers to the Latin word for earth, a central motif that stretches consistently through the room structure, colour climate and furnishing. A home has been created that unifies openness and withdrawal, clarity and warmth.
The floor plan is flowing and zoned at the same time: public areas such as the kitchen and living area form an open ensemble with generous movement flow – almost like moving freely over a soft floor. In contrast, the private zones lie deeper, pervaded with warm colours and create a withdrawn, almost cave-like feeling of security. Due to the colour structure with nuances such as ochre, misty grey and brick red, a spatial arrangement without hard edges has been created. Instead of permanent fixtures, flexible furniture dominates along with open shelves, which adapt to daily life. A climbing area for cats integrated into the wall is a playful gesture with design aspirations. Switches from the LS 990 range from JUNG in white are embedded into the colour composition where objects need to assert themselves, and in dark lacquered as a calmer contrast. A special detail is the KNX push-buttons in the colours of Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier Terre Sienne Brûlée 59. It takes up the brick red of the wall in the reception area – as a greeting gesture and a colourful statement both at the same time.

KNX system
Smart building automation combines convenience, security and energy efficiency. For this reason KNX has already become the standard worldwide for high-class private and commercial construction. The smart JUNG KNX solutions combine function, design and intuitive ease of operation.
KNX F 40 push-buttons
A variety of functions available in the the A, LS, FLAT DESIGN and LS DESIGN ranges. With the F 40 push-button sensors, the operation of the KNX functions is easily achieved with large control buttons. These can be individually labelled as required by using the GRAPHIC TOOL.
LS 990 in Dark aluminium
A prestigious interior derives its appeal from exclusive effects. The design switches in high-grade metal versions satisfy this standard outstandingly well. Cool stainless steel, aluminium or attractive anthracite, chrome or precious gold plating – they lend a special touch wherever the emphasis is on the extra-special. Two variations of genuine brass complement the portfolio: Classic with a bright, softly polished finish, antique suitable for traditional interiors.
LS 990 in white
Thanks to its high quality and clear shape, the LS 990 switch range has already proved its worth for about 50 years. The classic form of this switch with its narrow frame fits harmoniously into any surroundings. Purist elegance in thermosetting plastic or genuine metal lend this series a touch of class. A wide variety of applications are possible thanks to the wide functional spectrum. Thus, architecturally demanding visions can be consistently put into practice. The single to fivefold frames can be fitted horizontally or vertically.
