The Sculpted Penthouse: A Sculpted Retreat Above Taipei
Set atop a residential tower in Taipei, The Sculpted Penthouse transforms a 230 m² duplex (including the terrace) into a calm, continuous home—read as a single sculpted interior rather than a collection of rooms. The existing conditions worked against the penthouse promise: low ceilings, a choppy plan, uneven daylight, and an exposed terrace that was rarely used. Peny Hsieh Interiors responds with one disciplined idea: soften geometry and let daylight organize the life of the home, backed by a precise architectural intervention.
A seamless mineral finish wraps walls and ceilings in warm sand tones, turning surface into architecture and quieting visual noise. A jointless gray floor unifies the plan and carries light across the interior. Living, dining, and kitchen zones connect without hard partitions; curves replace sharp corners to clarify circulation and make the day-to-day sequence feel effortless.
The project’s defining move sits at the center: a sculptural stair paired with a vertical void. Rounded timber treads rise from a curved volume toward a circular glass oculus enabled by a structural opening in the slab. More than a gesture, the oculus pulls daylight deep into the duplex, links both levels through clear sightlines, and converts a constraint into the home’s spatial signature.
Outside, the terrace becomes true living space. A fixed, lightweight pergola filters glare and heat, while low outdoor furnishings encourage lingering with Taipei’s skyline—including Taipei 101—as an everyday presence.
Upstairs, spaces gather around the oculus: an intimate lounge, a muted primary suite, and bathrooms conceived as mineral landscapes—quiet and light in the primary, darker and more dramatic for guests. Throughout, carefully selected furnishings and lighting support the architecture without competing for attention. The result is an interior where softness performs—calm, deliberate, and unmistakably shaped by light.
