Architect wins £50m Taiwan homes contract

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / August 26

An Edinburgh firm of architects is designing a Tudor-style "millionaires' village" to be built in the hilltops of Taiwan. Lewis & Hickey has won a £50m contract to create 50 mansions based on traditional British architectural designs for a luxury development overlooking Taiwan's capital, Taipei. The development will be set among the lush, tropical hills of the Shian Dian district and will also house an upmarket clubhouse and leisure complex. The properties are expected to fetch between £1m and £2.5m each when they are put up for sale to Taiwanese nationals. Work on the village is expected to start next month. The completed project will be housed in a gated development, with landscaped gardens and park areas.
