The project site is located in Zhishan, part of Tianmu in Shilin district, which has a particularly rich cultural background. It was a gateway for foreign cultures, and still today, it is the neighborhood where most international schools are located. Residents of Tianmu are proud of this cross-cultural identity and enjoy a slow-living lifestyle that is removed from the bustle of more commercial areas in the city. Neri&Hu’s design intent for a high-end residential building was to embody a timeless aesthetic through the use of tectonic forms and tactile materials.
