ACPV Architects and Lien Jade Real Estate mark their ground-breaking collaboration with three landmark developments
Coming soon: a touch of Milan in the heart of Taiwan. ACPV Architects, the renowned Milan-based architecture and interior design practice helmed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, has announced that it is joining forces with Lien Jade Real Estate, one of Taiwan’s leading real estate developers, to transform the skyline of Taichung.
This partnership marks its debut with three monumental projects: two residential towers in the Lian Palace and Fang Wei Palace, and the Jung Heng Palace office tower.
The 39-storey Lian Palace and 28-storey Fang Wei Palace, situated in Taichung’s 7th District and Redevelopment Zone, respectively, promise to be dynamic and dramatic architectural landmarks. Both developments will feature lush sustainable design elements, luxurious aesthetics, and spatial planning that connects the buildings with the surrounding nature and landmarks. The 37-story office tower, Jung Heng Palace, will be articulated in four volumes, featuring a striking aluminium-and-steel façade, flexible event spaces, and a bamboo basket-inspired retail gallery.
“Lian Palace, Jung Heng Palace and Fang Wei Palace are designed in harmony with their urban and cultural context. With a particular Italian sensibility, the buildings have been designed to offer shared spaces of generous proportions for a welcoming atmosphere, and carefully curated green public spaces that open to the public to activate urban flows around the buildings,” says Patricia Viel, CEO and co-founder of ACPV Architects. The firm’s recently completed notable projects include a public plaza at 1221 Avenue of the Americas in New York City, and the Bvlgari Hotel Roma and Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo in 2023.
Chiang Weilun, founder of Lien Jade Real Estate, is thrilled that his company’s latest collaboration with ACPV Architects marks a full-circle moment in his professional work.
“For more than 30 years, my work has led me to an inseparable connection with Italian architecture, culture, art, and life. Working with ACPV has deepened my appreciation for their passion for truth, beauty, and the warmth of life. They embody the ideal relationship between architecture and living, seamlessly blending emotion and design into an extraordinary harmony,” he says.
