About Bon-Appetit Photography Stiúideo Grianghrafadóireachta

Is stiúideo grianghrafadóireachta é Bon-Appetit Photography atá suite laistigh d'fhoirgneamh trí stór a tógadh in 1982 i gcathair Hsinchu, an Téaváin. Toisc go bhfuil solas riachtanach don ghrianghrafadóireacht, atógadh an fhaáid le brící gloine chun solas nádúrtha an lae a thabhairt isteach san áit chúng laistigh. Laistigh, cuireann brící toilm sim-cheimint i gcodarsnacht leis na brící gloine, ag ceangal ábhair sean agus nua le chéile. Caomhnaíodh an t-urlár marmair a bhí ann cheana féin agus na fuinneoga fillte a bhí frámáilte le hadhmad, agus athchóiríodh na ballaí agus na síleálacha le terrazzo agus le cláir ghráinníní. San oíche, roinneann an t-áit chónaithe solasach a cuid solais leis na daoine a théann thart tríd an mballa brící gloine.

Unique Properties
This building was built in 1982, located in the hill area at Hsinchu city. Entering indoors, the cement hollow-brick wall attracts attention, creating a contrast with glass-brick facade. Both bricks (concrete and glass) imply a synthesis of old days and new era, and allow light transmitting freely spread out. Moreover, upstairs, balcony fences and front doors were restored in woods. The ceiling comprises curve and linear details, creating clean and inviting layers.
Dimensions & Packaging
Started from October 2018 and finished in February 2019.
Built area 165 square meter.

Production Technology
To reminisce about historical colonial styles, we preserved existing flooring and windows as much as possible. The mixed-color marble flooring was kept intact, and the wood-framed fold-up windows were preserved. Meanwhile, walls and ceilings were refurbished with old, hand-feel, materials: terrazzo and particle boards...etc.
Design Challenge
How to build a new glass brick wall integrating with old building structure is a key study for this project.
Research
The interior is a long narrow site plan, causing poor daylight during day time. As a solution, we partially demolished interior partition wall, and rebuild the facade with glass bricks.
Inspiration
The alteration of light is a key factor for photo-shooting; thus, we supposed photography studio to coexist with natural daylight as much as possible. Inspired from membrane properties of semi-transparency, the facade was rebuilt with glass bricks. Glass transparency undermines both sloping ground-line and visual heftiness, and the building becomes a semi-clear carrier.
Project Duration
Hsinchu city, Taiwan
Operation Flow
In this three-story building: the first floor is arranged for public area and photographer ’s office, and there are balcony and private bedrooms at the second floor, and then the photography studio with pop-up color-screen is located at the third floor.
In day time, the frost-finished glass wall provides light-filled ambiance and great privacy. In dawn, because of the properties of glass bricks, while interior lighting were lit up, the neighbor and passers-by can sit on the bench and share illumination via exterior side of glass brick wall, creating a connection between community and people.
