Production Technology

Located near a busy commercial area in Taipei, the sales center was designed as a welcoming, community-oriented mixed-use space. Expanded metal mesh softens the building’s mass and sets it apart from typical department stores. A central courtyard enhances circulation and retail activity. Since opening, it has attracted locals and celebrities alike, becoming a lively hub that encourages photography, social sharing, and strong foot traffic.

Design Challenge

Located near a major commercial district in Taipei, this sales center faced the challenge of low foot traffic. To address this, the design team created a people-friendly, mixed-use commercial space aimed at drawing public attention. The expanded metal mesh facade balances transparency and solidity, softening the building’s mass and contrasting with the imposing feel of typical department stores. Eye-catching exteriors and varied circulation successfully attract visitors.

Research

This project applied spatial design research to turn a traditional sales center into a vibrant, inclusive community hub. By integrating dining, retail, performances, and events around a central courtyard, it encouraged flow and interaction. Using human-centered methods and foot traffic studies, the team created a lively space that drew families and cultural groups. Sales hit 50 percent in a month, with high media exposure and strong public engagement.

Inspiration

The design breaks traditional single-use sales centers by fostering community interaction, linking old and new structures, and connecting surrounding pathways. The project retains the original structure, adding new commercial functions, using expanded metal and double-layer walls for a vibrant look. The layout, featuring pathways and plaza elements, successfully attracts crowds and showcases diverse space usage.

Project Duration

The project began in October 2023 and was completed in April 2024, located in Taipei, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

This project is a mixed use sales center designed to serve the public, strengthen neighborhood connections, and enhance brand value. Planned primarily as a commercial space, the site is located near a well known commercial district in Taipei, Taiwan. Unlike conventional sales centers that focus only on sales offices and show units, the project is positioned as a small scale department store. Inspired by the local context, it creates diverse spaces centered on food, clothing, living, mobility, education, and leisure.
