Minimalism at Its Best with the ‘Blue Eye’ Apartment [Taiwan]

Shanghai-based architectural agency Wei Yi International Design Associates, recently introduced their gorgeous latest project: The ‘Blue Eye’ apartment. Located in the north seaside district of Taiwan, the large minimalistic one bedroom apartment was based on a nuanced palette of grey hues and the predominance of concrete surfaces, the apartment is a marvel of minimalist design and conceptual rigor, unfolding as a spacious living room that opens up onto an open-plan kitchen and dining area, both enjoying expansive vistas of the estuary and the surrounding hills, as do the bedroom and bathroom further on.

The designers approached this project as an exercise of artistic expression underpinned by a desire to create a unique space connected to nature where the owner’s pursuit of serenity could also be rewarded.

Lying between the estuary of Tamsui River and the mountainous Yangmingshan National Park, the area, despite its urban character, is blessed with natural landmarks including an adjacent mangrove forest and wetlands reserve. The surrounding natural beauty, and in particular the ocean that resplendently looms on the horizon, was the initial inspiration for the project named “Blue Eye”—blue referencing the ocean as well as “the tears of the Earth”, as the architects explain in a valiant effort to draw attention to the preciousness of nature and its precarious future.
