Unique Properties
This 4 generation home nestled in the mountains offers spacious river panoramas from its wrap around style windows. The walls between 2 units have been removed to create one large U shaped apartment. The special, multi-faced marble pillars blend skillfully into the magnificent river vistas. The different shades of the color scheme invite the natural light and painting-like river scenery into the unit.
Inspiration
To find a balance for individuals of all generations, the bedrooms are grouped together in the wings. The grandparents and in-laws rooms are at the ends of private hallways in the wings. The open-concept common area easily accommodates several groups of people.
Research
The Feng-Shui arrangement of the space accommodates the grandparents needs, the kids leisure time, and each family members privacy, creating a comfortable, functional, and access-friendly home.
Challenge
The pillars are transformed into a powerful art installation through an angular marble technique. The same technique is employed for the bar, creating the ideal leaning angle and room to rest your feet, the pinnacle of aesthetics and practicality.
Realization and Technology

Project Duration and Location
The project started in JUNE 2019 in Taipei,and finished in December.
Specifications
