Skyward Serenity

‘The glamour of time resides within its inescapable passage, hidden amidst spring blossoms, autumn moons, summer days, and winter snow.' ~ Sanmao (Echo Chen), Taiwanese travel writer

Located on the 21st of a 27-story building, this residence boasts uninterrupted city views. Through expansive windows and open-plan living areas, the interplay of clouds and sunlight vividly fuses natural attributes with indoor ambience. Layout for this 132-square-meter interior features 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 2 bathrooms. It is a cheerful blueprint envisioning future growth and needs of the household.

Drawing inspiration from the shape-shifting clouds and by means of material and lighting details, the design weaves a daily narrative of carefree, tranquil urban living. Upon entrance, the origami-styled ceiling, with recessed lighting, immediately attracts attention. Such visual impact and playfulness continues to the bespoke cloud-shape pendant light above the dining area.

Including paints and adhesives, the incorporation of eco-friendly building materials exceeds 90% overall. Low VOC boards and elements are used throughout, whilst extensive LED lightings enhance energy efficiency. ‘A sustainable & healthy lifestyle’ remains the core of the design. The approach puts emphasis on texture and craftsmanship, ridding of excess embellishments. Meanwhile, the introduction of home-automation system, incorporating A/V, A/C, HRV, dehumidifier, lighting and curtains, delivers an advanced yet human-centric experience.
