Taiwanese Residences and Houses
i'm starting a new post that specifically deals with residential/housing architecture, either new projects or existing structures, skyscrapers, highrises, low-rises or houses.

do you all know about this huge riverside complex they're building in xindian called MeHAS? right in front of the MRT station consisting of 14 towers. there was an article in taipei times last year about this project getting a huge loan by several banks. I hope the final product looks as good as the rendering.

I think this housing complex is really nice. looks exactly like the type of architecture in southern california. they should build more styles like this:

I'm not into those neo-classical european styles but this one is actually one of the better ones I've seen. still a lot of decoration and detailing for my taste, but it overall I think it works. it's actually pretty big inside; the bedrooms are huge even by American standards! must be very expensive.

Housing complex is very popular in Tainan, many projects just nice!
Unlike Taipei, a high-density city, Tainan is a small city. |
If you are looking for Row House, then Taichung would be a good start to look at.

this one's pretty nice. the houses are actually pretty large by standards. they're all individual houses and not the typical attached townhouse. they all have driveways and there's even a good size yard too:

i like the stone materials and wrought iron fencing used in this one. and finally they are using attractive american-style garage doors - not the usual industrial type used for commercial stores:

can someone say gaudy?? :lol: but the detailing is actually pretty good. except for the walls with the castle-like architecture whatever-you-call-it. the interiors look very lavish. those egg-like toilets definitely dont go with the interior design.
anyway, this housing complex looks very expensive. i guess some people are making money in taiwan during the global recession! but notice the scooters outside; i mean, if you're going going to splurge on a house like this you better not be riding any scooters! and there are no sidewalks either. :ohno: http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_01.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_02.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_03.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_04.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_06.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_07.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_08.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_10.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_11.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_12.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_13.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_14.jpg http://tpl.housetube.tw/img/products.../5/4245_15.jpg |

Townhouses is a uniquely californian term, to describe a type of architecture that only exists in california. Townhouses are conjoined homes that represent usually just 2-3 units almost always split vertically in half, so each side has two floors. visually they look like one giant home split in half. In San Francisco, we have row houses where each house is indivdually styled but attached to the house next to it. Brownstones are usually 5 floor walk-ups that consists of a number of condos on each floor, and the building themselves do not look like houses, but large blocks. It seems like the pictures above are Californian Townhouses. |

sorry, but that is a 'fake' brownstone and a very bad copy at that. there's a reason why they are called 'brownstone' - because they are genuinely constructed from real brown stone. "Brownstone is a brown Triassic sandstone which was once a popular building material." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownstone) real, genuine ny-style brownstones are like this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uima...ownstone-7.jpg i'm in l.a. now and i notice a lot of fake "new york style" things like ny style pizza, ny style apartments, ny style lofts, ny style cheesecake, ny style steak, ny style burgers, ny style bagels, etc., etc., etc. west coast are always copying new york style. |
