The Modern Mansion Concept: A Masterpiece of Design and Architecture
Housed within a structural masterpiece designed in collaboration with Tokyo-based Mori Building Group, Capella Taipei has been perfected by celebrated interior designer André Fu into a sophisticated sanctuary along Dunhua North Road’s verdant corridor, where century-old trees evoke European promenades. Fu’s vision of a “modern mansion” artfully balances bespoke luxury with cultural heritage, reflecting Taipei’s multifaceted spirit through light-filled spaces that seamlessly connect indoors and outdoors.

The property’s tranquil palette of artisanal details and thoughtfully curated furnishings creates an atmosphere of refined calm amidst the city’s vibrant energy—each space embodying Fu’s intimate, considered approach to hospitality design that invites both personal reflection and meaningful connection.
