When a Taiwanese expat couple with a two-year old child returned home to Taiwan, they decided to settle down in the district of Xindian in Taiwan’s New Taipei City, where the husband had spend most of his childhood. The couple purchased a 1,352-square-foot apartment near the river and reached out to Taipei–based interior design firm KC Design Studio to help them turn it into a stylish, modern home where industrial elements like steel, brick, and exposed concrete harmonize with vintage accents. The ever-shifting material palette continues in the two bathrooms, which have walls and ceilings with different types of tiles. For the private areas, lighter colors, warm wood, and more classical details cater to the wife's preferences.
