A timeless design within a new Xin-Yi residential skyscraper, located in the financial district of Taipei, designed by world renowned architect Richard Meier. Celia Chu Design were tasked with creating a luxury modern apartment, which could be as open-plan as possible when needed and zoned when not. Celia designed and installed bespoke full height room divider doors to have separate living spaces when required and completely open plan when not. Three architectural concrete cylindrical columns piercing each and every apartment are embraced and celebrated in Celia's interior design.
