Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Perched on the 15th floor, this dwelling revels in a majestic urban panorama. Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking view and a sense of opulent living, the design embodies practicality, merging with cultural arts and a luxurious style. Classical lines define the mansion's grandeur while modern design elements capture meticulous details and proportions. Biomimetic elements and stylish decor create a visual harmony, seamlessly integrating natural art and light fixtures with varied materials.
- Inspiration
- This luxurious design combines traditional silhouettes with artistic pieces that exude a natural atmosphere and ornamental lighting that resembles blooms. The different hues and textured materials come together to form a visually stunning and artistic scene, creating an exquisite space with texture.
- Research
- Drawing from the ideas of the Art Nouveau style and divergent aesthetics, the design creates an aesthetically pleasing art scene amid a riot of colors and layered materials, crafting a luxurious space that complements the aesthetic lifestyle of its residents.
- Challenge
- In reaction to the pandemic, a shared bathroom and dust area have been designed at the entrance, serving as the first line of defense against disease-causing organisms. When entering the foyer, visitors are welcomed by the vibrant and whimsical artworks of Swiss painter Thierry Feuz - with its sweet hues and romantic floral motifs, it is like entering a world of color and fantasy from the steel jungle of the city. At the end of the foyer is yet another painting by Thierry Feuz, and the flower-inspired chandelier by Serip, creating a visual harmony that captures and preserves beauty in this home.
- Realization and Technology
- The TV wall, influenced by landscape paintings, uses multicolored marble mosaics to create an artwork like effect. With a metal edge and a black mirrored base featuring GUAXS vases, it exudes luxury and shine. The space showcases an Eichholtz table, Hermes pillows, Serip and Eichholtz lamps, a chandelier, Louis Vuitton lighting, and Wedgwood and Anna New York dining ware, with creative additions such as Serip organic chandeliers, foyer paintings, and a piano by Thierry Feuz.
- Operation and Interaction
- Floor to ceiling windows envelop the living room, bathing it in natural light and wide vistas. A circular sofa serves as a focal point, while a sliding art door hides the TV for family gatherings. The room design, drawing from landscape art, incorporates a stunning art TV wall with metal edges. Balanced on either side by private rooms, an open communal area with a tea space offers relaxation amidst vibrant artwork.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project commenced its design phase in early 2022 in Taipei, Taiwan, and was completed by the end of 2022 in Taipei, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- This home includes a main bedroom, second bedroom, and a maid's room. It has a primary bathroom, an extra bathroom, and changing rooms in the foyer and both bedrooms. The living spaces consist of a living room, a dining room with a standalone Chinese kitchen, a light dining area with a central island, and a straightforward kitchen. It also has a tea area, a multi-purpose room, and a working balcony.
