Vessel in Urban
Vessel in Urban is a three-story residence designed for multi-generational family living in a busy downtown district. The building is made of fair-faced concrete and clad with large areas of glass paired with wood. Green landscapes are planted in the courtyard, terrace and balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight and views of the plants into every room. Window placement was planned to protect privacy from nearby houses. Natural wood surfaces are finished with a lacquered shine, following traditional lacquerware craft. The construction area is 770 square meters.
Vessel in Urban Residence by Bao Chi Huei was selected as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Vessel in Urban Residence earned 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 award that recognizes outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
