Beauty Mansion White is an interior design for the shared spaces of a residential building in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The design supports two generations living together, giving each household independence while keeping the family close. The visual theme draws on the water, clouds and trees of the nearby Bitan landscape. An old tree stands at the center of the lobby, rising from the floor to the ceiling as a link between all households. Water ripples are reproduced on the ceiling in titanium plated metal, which reflects daylight and reduces the need for lamps.
