About 24 Frames of Lightwell Interior Comercial Experiencial

24 Fotogrames del Pou de Llum és una botiga comercial experiencial situada en un edifici renovat de 50 anys d'antiguitat a Taipei, amb una superfície de 353 metres quadrats. El comerç, la moda, l'art i la natura es reuneixen en un sol espai. Un enfocament de disseny substractiu limita l'impacte ambiental de la renovació. Els materials existents es reinterpreten per posar en relleu la textura de l'edifici antic. S'utilitzen plafons de terratzo modern a la botiga selecta, i s'ha restaurat l'escala original de terratzo. Un tractament lleuger del pou de llum i la façana crea 24 fotogrames que configuren l'interior i la manera com els visitants perceben el seu entorn.

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
Dimensions & Packaging: 353 m2 of the space area

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.
