Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of Jean-Michel Othoniel's Green Aquamarine Necklace as a centerpiece in Family With a Pearl Necklace Luxury Residential creates a remarkable dialogue between art and architecture - could you elaborate on how this artistic conversation shaped your spatial design decisions?
The color and form of the art piece had a great influence on how I designed the project, since I had to consider the visual balance while incorporating it. The other aspect was how the owner saw the art piece. Understanding the artist’s intentions with his work and the client’s attitude towards owner the piece helped me realize the project.
The two-year journey of artistic discovery through galleries across NY, London, Paris, and Taiwan clearly influenced Family With a Pearl Necklace Luxury Residential - how did this extensive exploration transform your client's relationship with art and impact your design approach?
During the journey, we had a deep look into the creative processes of multiple artists. We visited many exhibitions and art studios to gain an understanding of the motivations and intentions of the creators. I believe that if clients can feel the emotions behind the art pieces, it can lead to them having new outlooks on life.
Family With a Pearl Necklace Luxury Residential demonstrates a masterful balance between public and private spaces across its four floors - could you share your philosophy behind creating this harmonious flow while maintaining distinct zones for three generations?
Each floor belongs to a different generation. The private areas all have convenient features that fit the users’ needs, so they can have their own little worlds without needing to come downstairs to the common area. The common area, on the other hand, is designed for family activities. Fulfilling both the resident’s need for privacy and family bonding time is a key point in creating this home.

- Production Technology
- Aligning an emotional connection to art with the client presented a substantial commitment of time and energy through gallery, art fair, and exhibit visits. Through this process, a shift in the imagined relationship between art and space occurred from object to dialog, and indeed between the client and art as a relationship rather than possession.
- Design Challenge
- The journey of artistic discovery, exploration and understanding took the designer and client on a two-year tour of galleries, art exhibitions and fairs in NY, London, Paris, and Taiwan. Through dialog with the art in these spaces, the client gained a self-understanding and engaged with art on a new level. The final pieces curated for this collection guided the overall design of the space, while the space itself became an extension of the art.
- Research
- In understanding this space both as art and through art, the goal for this project was curating a home art collection in sync with the client. The chemistry between art and space transforms environments in the forefront of human consciousness. This interaction shifts thinking, and even behavior in envisioning a better world through the seasons of time and emotion.
- Inspiration
- One main space is centered around Green Aquamarine Necklace, a piece by the contemporary French artist, Jean-Michel Othoniel. Inspired by his 4-story installation commissioned by Chanel, NYC, the flow of the necklace and the interplay of the individually hand-blown glass beads resonates with the space and overall aesthetic of the property.
- Project Duration
- This project is built in 2018 in Taipei.
- Operation Flow
- This residence was created for a family of five: a couple, two children, and one grandmother. The layout for the various floors is arranged with the first floor logically a public space, the second for the children and grandmother, and the third floor for the couple. The multimedia space in the basement is the family’s entertainment space. Together with the outdoor garden and swimming pool, it provides a comfortable family atmosphere.
