Located at Tamsui City overlooking the estuary of Tamsui River under Mount Guanyin and featuring a private home spa pool in each unit, this famous luxury residential tower manifests a housing concept comprising pool views, river views and sea views. To extend into the interior magnificent scenes of colorful water ripple reflections during Tamsui sunset, a creative design approach has been adopted with Italian Memento antiqued-effect porcelain tiles paved on the floor in great areas interpreting genus loci, a pervading spirit of the place, while handmade faux stone uneven finish echoes the ruffling tiny waves on water surface. With magical power exerted by time, all activities and moods in this vacation residence seem to be slowing down. Things though sharing the same space and time, illusion of time dilation appears.
