An artful interplay of soft gray tones and titanium-plated accents shapes a serene urban sanctuary, where warm wood surfaces introduce a comforting depth and natural warmth. Layers of delicate metallic details and statement pendant lights cast a mesmerizing glow reminiscent of starlit skies above the cityscape. Marble finishes and natural wood veneers enhance this ambiance with refined sophistication, merging modern luxury with subtle elegance. Expansive shared spaces invite loved ones to gather, fostering moments of warmth and effortless connection.
The design team establishes a welcoming foundation in warm gray tones for communal areas, perfectly complementing the ivory marble TV wall. Its intricate veining flows like a poised dragon, echoing the vitality of the nearby Keelung River while symbolizing prosperity and fortune within a refined, luxurious setting. The open layout fosters a sense of connection, inviting family members to gather, while round and semi-circular pendant lights embody blessings of harmony and fulfillment. In the private quarters, a blend of functionality and personal expression emerges through textured wallpapers, drapery, and carefully chosen furnishings, shaping a refined, modern lifestyle rich in variety and detail.
 This project emphasizes open communal space, skillfully utilizing the combined layout of two units to enhance spaciousness that meets the family’s desire for connection. Moreover, taking advantage of natural light, one unit is dedicated entirely to a well-lit and spacious shared area, featuring large French windows that frame sweeping views of the Taipei 101, subtly introducing the city’s iconic skyline into everyday life. The dining area is thoughtfully positioned at a main intersection, inviting family gatherings and fostering a sense of unity and warmth. Carefully selected furnishings in the communal space embody a minimalist aesthetic characterized by clean lines and soft textures that create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for cherished family moments.
With future aging-in-place in mind, this project embraces barrier-free design principles to achieve a home fit for a lifelong livable house. Guided by a commitment to environmental sustainability, the team carefully selected low-formaldehyde, low-VOC materials.
