Kev kho dua tshiab no koom cov xyoo tas los mus rau lub sijhawm tam sim no ua ke. Sab nraud tus tsev npog nrog cov qhov rais lattice dawb, thaum sab hauv muaj tus qauv niaj hnub uas coj cov lus qhia txog kab lis kev cai. Ib tug ladder spiral uas tsim raws li golden ratio sawv tawm tsam ib puag ncig xiav tsaus. Cov ntaub pua av Taiwan qub feem ntau tau khaws cia thiab sib txuas nrog cov ntaub pua mosaic, ntoo parquet thiab pob zeb marble hauv zos raws li ib qho qauv herringbone. Cov qhov rooj folding cais lub chaw sib tham qhib thiab lub tsev qiv ntawv swatch.

- Production Technology
- At the ground floor, the spiral staircase built on golden ratio attracts attentions. The staircase implies a symbolic and composed statement to the space, and inhabitants can observe spatial movement on each step. Deep blue backdrops set off the long-narrow plan, conveying a minimalist comparison with bygones. To preserve most building structure, the slope ceiling encompasses vernacular wooden truss framework underneath. A chamfer floor mirror echoes to poly-lines near ceiling, reflecting lush from backyard to indoors. The exposed masonry of brick wall, a remembrance our colonial influence from Japan in the past.
- Design Challenge
- To eliminate stereotypes to retro elements. Select our indigenous materials on the flooring: white marble from Hualien city, and emerald marble from Taitung city. Deconstructing natural stones and mismatching nowadays tiles, and retro bronze metals on flooring, comes up with a progressive herringbone array, giving a modern newness.
- Research
- To reminisce about traditional material technique in 1970's, authentic Taiwanese tile flooring is mostly preserved. Inspiration of ‘material paradox,’ flooring combine geometrical mosaic tiles and wood parquet to create a ‘tapestry’ effect. Flooring pairs with terrazzo table top, stimulating an intriguing connection between old/classic and new/contemporary creativity.
- Inspiration
- The building is an old indigenous Taiwanese terraced house at Taichung city, built in 1972. Aiming to revitalize a traditional building, we regard this project is a fusion between the past and new era, and take concepts of "twist" and "new born" instead of reborn or rebirth. The facade, cladded with white lattice window, showcases modernized interior of cultural undertones.
- Project Duration
- Started from September 2018 and finished in March 2019.
Taichung city, Taiwan - Operation Flow
- At the stairway, wall covered with bold geometric patterns and framed by gilded metal, as a prelude to workplace upstairs.
