Located in the historic Steinway Hall area and just steps from Central Park, this refined urban sanctuary captures both the character of its surroundings and the spirit of its residents.
Blending Eastern and Western influences, the design celebrates bold color, rich texture, and sculptural form—from a Roche Bobois Mahjong sofa to gallery-worthy lighting.
Here, art isn’t simply displayed—it’s embedded in the walls, woven into the rugs, and reflected in every surface. Each room becomes a frame, every detail deliberate.
Designed to honor a global art collection and personal passions, the space balances symmetry with softness, and precision with personality. by @design_determination

What you wear says who you are—and so should where you live.
For TC Chou of Design Determination, design isn’t just about making things beautiful—it’s about making them personal. In Cloud Top Artful Living, the interiors reflect the homeowner’s distinct style through tailored forms, bold colors, and art placed with intention.
It’s not about trends—it’s about translating how you live into how your space feels.
A true expression of identity, culture, and comfort—perfectly in sync.

Rather than a static creation, space is a living canvas that evolves with the rhythms of our growth and the shifts in our perspectives. Within the historic walls of this Fort Greene brownstone, we embraced the interplay of changing seasons, allowing natural light filtered through the Japanese maple canopy to illuminate custom textiles and curated art.

True luxury lies in this intentional balance—where dramatic, theatrical spaces peacefully coexist with quiet, deeply personal sanctuaries. By blurring the boundaries between active creative life and restorative calm, we transformed this century-old home into an anchor for the soul: a poetic retreat that responds beautifully to the passage of time.

A home where architecture, interiors, and the garden exist in quiet harmony—celebrating the beauty of everyday living through every season. A story that feels equally at home in the worlds of House & Garden, design, and timeless living.

“A Home That Travel”

A Home That Travels: Living Through Art, Not Distance

A home that moves beyond distance, carried instead through art. It’s a pleasure to see this idea featured in Interior Magazine Taiwan (May 2026).

A space formed through layers of art, memory, and quiet narratives gathered over time—existing not only to be seen, but to be experienced. Each work preserves a moment, while every corner reflects a story that connects places, people, and time. Grateful to see this vision translated into print @interiormag_tw may issue

A home that travels: Living through art, not distance.
Excited to see this idea come to life in the latest feature in Interior Magazine Taiwan (May 2026).

A space shaped by art, memory, and a few stories along the way, made to be felt, not just seen. Every piece holds a moment, and every corner carries a story, quietly connecting places, people, and time. Grateful to see this vision come together in print.
