This residence has undergone multiple renovations and transformations over the years, going from a house to [multi-floor apartment complex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taichung-apartment). Row Studio’s took on the project, wanting to help the space better fit with its surroundings and really solidify its identity as a complex. In order to do so, the facade was refurbished with a cool, custom-made hound’s-tooth pattern and the balconies were redone for optimal safety and to maintain the continuity of the look. However, the most dazzling aspect of this renovation can be seen at night with the addition of [industrial light fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereus-house) that really highlight the modernized design. Overall, Row Studio has helped the Curvier 83 residence come into its own with an immaculate, fresh aesthetic.
