Tranquil Urban Apartment Design

CHEWEN CHOU introduces "Spirit of Stillness," an urban sanctuary in Taipei City, Taiwan, blending Eastern philosophy with modern sensibility to create a contemplative living space. The design, winner of the Silver A' Design Award, harmoniously integrates artistry with functionality, offering a refuge from the urban hustle.

The 120-square-meter apartment embodies the tripartite philosophy of SPIRIT, valuing work, recreation, and rest equally. It features a specially crafted art wall supporting a 30-kilogram Bodhisattva sculpture, energy-efficient LED lighting, and thermal insulating materials for enhanced ventilation.

Selected materials, including stone fragments and Italian eco-friendly paints, promote resource recycling and sustainability. The design's intuitive user experience maximizes natural light and incorporates air-purifying green plants for a consistent flow of fresh air.

Inspired by Su Shi's "Ding Feng Bo," the design merges traditional elements with modern aesthetics, creating a dialogue between the past and present. The project commenced in March 2023 and concluded in August 2023, showcasing meticulous research and planning to achieve a cohesive final design.

CHEWEN CHOU, a specialized interior designer, led the project alongside HSAIO YIN LIN, overcoming creative, technical, and regulatory challenges to realize a tranquil, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing space. The design offers a model for sustainable yet aesthetically pleasing urban living spaces, elevating the impact of cultural richness on the design.
