Located in the Great Taipei New Town district just south of downtown Taipei, the Taiwan Villas are in a development of 28 luxury homes designed by five world‑renowned architects. Jim Olson designed five unique homes, each with a distinct relationship to the lush and serene mountain landscape, and together conceived as peaceful retreats from everyday life. Set high within the tree‑covered mountains, the homes combine privacy with expansive views of both city and natural terrain.
