Transforming the Surrounding Landscape into a Lived Interior Experience

Peny Hsieh Interiors entirely renovated Echo Villa, a private residence, located in Taipei, Taiwan. Completed in January 2025, the home spans 990 square meters and draws inspiration from the surrounding mountain contours. Its design expresses a unique spatial language through fluid lines and soft materials.

Custom-designed curved elements shape furniture, partitions, and ceiling transitions, creating a continuous sense of movement. These forms echo the dynamism of the landscape, establishing a cohesive visual rhythm throughout the residence. The choice of materials reinforces the organic concept. Mineral-toned plaster adds depth and texture to the walls, while natural teak flooring brings warmth and harmony. A subdued color palette and handcrafted details cultivate a calm and balanced atmosphere.

Lighting plays a key role in the composition. Natural light is softened by architectural volumes, while indirect artificial lighting accentuates transitions and textures. Together, they create a serene environment that prioritizes clarity and comfort.

The residence also showcases curated artworks by Draga & Aurel, Bruno Moinard, Christophe Delcourt, and Paul Bik. Each piece was thoughtfully selected to align with the project’s core concept: transforming the surrounding landscape into a lived interior experience.
