The duo behind design studio AB Concept has worked on projects for major brands around the world. But their latest venture is more personal: the transformation of their pied-à-terre in the heart of the Taiwanese capital
Located in the heart of Taipei, this apartment ticks a lot of boxes for interior designer Ed Ng and architect Terence Ngan, the founders of Hong Kong-based design studio AB Concept.
“Taipei has always been one of my hubs—I constantly travel, and AB Concept also has an office there,” says Ng. The firm’s projects take Ng and Ngan to countries across the globe; they are behind the design of Argo at the Four Seasons Hong Kong, Shang Palace at Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei, and the spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore, to name just a few.

This apartment is close to Taipei Songshan Airport and the office. It has floor-to-ceiling windows that offer beautiful city views and an abundance of natural lighting, and is also located on a tree-lined boulevard. “Taipei is a city of hustle and bustle, but the trees cover that busy feeling,” he adds. “When you walk in, what you see in front of you is green. This is something we really enjoy.”
