Urban Zen
Urban Zen is a residential interior design for a home of 115.7 square meters in Taiwan. The project combines modern city living with Japanese Zen aesthetics. A snow-viewing window with adjustable openings controls daylight and framed views. A tatami room offers a quiet place for guests and meditation. Warm wood tones are lighter in the living and dining rooms and darker in the bedrooms. Materials include formaldehyde-free cabinets, calcium silicate panels, solid wood and high-pressure laminate. A pet walkway and a tree are built between the cabinets for the resident cat.
Urban Zen Residence by MUSA International Interior Design was identified as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Urban Zen Residence won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2026. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program that recognizes superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
