About 24 Frames of Lightwell Ervaringsgerigte Kleinhandelinterieur

24 Rame van die Ligskag is 'n ervaringsgerigte kleinhandelwinkel in 'n gerenoveerde 50 jaar oue gebou in Taipei, wat 353 vierkante meter beslaan. Handel, mode, kuns en natuur word saamgebring in een ruimte. 'n Subtraktiewe ontwerpbenadering beperk die omgewingsimpak van die renovering. Bestaande materiale word herinterpreteer om die tekstuur van die ou gebou te beklemtoon. Moderne terrazzo-panele word in die keurwinkel gebruik, en die oorspronklike terrazzo-trap is herstel. 'n Ligte behandeling van die ligskag en fasade skep 24 rame wat die interieur vorm en die manier waarop besoekers hul omgewing ervaar.

Unique Properties
"24 Frames of Lightwell" is an experiential space bringing commerce, fashion, art, and nature together in a renovated 50-year-old building in Taipei. The project offers solutions to old walkup-apartment renovation through material selection and subtractive design operation with minimal environmental impacts. The lightweight approach is applied to the entire lightwell and facade for the creation of "24 Frames" that influence the interior environment and magnify how visitors sense the surroundings

Production Technology
In terms of material selection for generating a newborn atmosphere in the old building, the project uses reinterpretation of the existing material to highlight the texture of the old building. For instance, "modern terrazzo panels" are used in the select shop while the existing "terrazzo staircase" are restored by oil-painting. The biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was built in 1967 and many material and technique was lost.
Design Challenge
As the project aiming to conserve the urban fabric and offer potential renovation solutions, the biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was originally built in 1967. For instance, "Goose yellow terrazzo staircase", "scattered wood-patterned concrete ceiling", "neon green mini tiles" are common building materials and techniques in 60’s- 80’s in Taiwan as well as the housing typology of "walk-up apartment", but cannot be found nowadays.
Inspiration
Currently most of the implemented plans for urban regeneration and development in Taipei are being carried out by reconstruction. The newly built tall walls block the surrounding environment and cut off the urban fabric. In contrast, this project offers another solution to walkup-apartments renovation with minimal environmental impacts, which is to create the "24 frames" as a framework of the space allowing client to integrate various fields together perfectly in a 50-year-old building.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 and built in May 2020 in Taipei
Operation Flow
Through the "24 frames", playful interactions are created among surroundings, visitors and the artworks.
