Neo-Classicism Redefined

Neoclassicism Redefined is a sample residence located in the business hub of Taipei where three major MRT lines meet, hence enjoying the advantage of excellent location. Its targeted buyers are top elites, people who value both functionality and quality. With expatriate supervisors from abroad as its potential buyers, a sense of belonging is shaped for these homesick foreign clients, and thus its design features a combination of modernist and American neoclassical styles. Without knowing who its users really are, there is uncertainty in predicting their individual needs and hence difficulty in design. Therefore, adaptability is taken into account, so that the 4-room layout can accommodate a small family, while the spare rooms can function as guestrooms or offices in correspondence with the number of users. What sets this residence apart from average sample apartments is that this completed unit has an ideal, whole layout with a smooth flow, as the designing team was involved in the planning before it was built. It meets the needs of targeted buyers, presenting a cost-effective neoclassical style within a limited budget, while integrating functionality and ease of movement into this high-quality sample unit. Plenty of designing experience and great attention to details allow its neoclassical style to showcase perfectly the overall sensual feelings in crucial proportion. As for the color scheme in Neoclassicism Redefined, neutral Morandi tones accepted most widely dominate the space. Combined with collage of different materials, layers of space are created. The concept of environmental protection is injected into the residence as well. For example, Toluene-free, odorless water-based paint is used so that moving in is made possible right after the unit is completed, proving a healthy, reassuring environment for its dwellers. Also, modernist furniture, retro-style light fixtures, and warm flooring tones endow the space with sensual comfort and a sense of home.
