An Architectural Gem Embracing the Past While Representing Contemporary Living
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Renowned architect Chinhua Huang unveils "Terrace to The Sky," a stunning residential remodeling project nestled in Taipei's old town district, Wanhua. The project, completed in December 2021, breathes new life into a forty-year-old dwelling, offering a resort-like living environment while preserving the traces of the past. The duplex, spanning 180 square meters across the fourth and fifth floors, features five bedrooms, four living rooms, and two bathrooms, showcasing a seamless blend of contemporary design and historical preservation.
Chinhua Huang's innovative approach to the project involved incorporating discovered old building materials and textures into newly added materials, creating walls that allow light to penetrate while presenting diverse light and shadow expressions. The rooftop floor features continuous arched openings and deep blue sound-absorbing velvet fabric, offering privacy and a semi-immersive bathing experience, adding a vacation atmosphere to the living space. The terrace area, adorned with green plantings, creates an urban jungle-like landscape within the limited space, providing a tranquil outdoor retreat.
The project, winner of the Bronze A' Design Award in 2024, exemplifies outstanding and creatively ingenious designs that authenticate experience and resourcefulness, contributing to quality of life improvements. Chinhua Huang's vision for "Terrace to The Sky" sets a new standard for residential remodeling, offering a harmonious blend of history and modernity in the heart of Taipei's old city district.
