Phoenix has successfully transformed an ordinary apartment
building into an award-winning luxury residence, and achieved a
satisfactory en-bloc exit. Lumière reflects the desirability of
prime location and the exceptional quality of design and
craftsmanship.
This beautifully renovated property in the Tien Mu neighbourhood
of Taipei has re-defined luxury residential standards in the city.
Lumière contains nine apartments and a range of communal spaces,
including a lounge, banquet room, library, gym, penthouse event
space and a terrace offering spectacular views across the hills
and city.
Under the impeccable direction of New York-based architectural and
interior design company Tsao & McKown, the interiors were
re-designed to address contemporary lifestyle preferences.
The facade was re-dressed in spandrel glass to update the original
building with a crisp and clean modern look. Areas that were
previously used for apartments were re-imagined into adaptable,
shared spaces for all residents.
Collaboration with Taiwanese artists and craftsmen produced an
eclectic mix of modern-material sensibilities with a traditional
Chinese cultural influence, such as wall reliefs that recall
Chinese landscape paintings and early language pictograms.
