The Design

About The Art Of Community Spatium Publicum

Ars Communitatis est consilium spatii publici intra aedificationem habitationalem in urbe Taichung, Taivania. Areae communes comprehendunt atrium sex metrorum altitudine quod ad peristylium consitum patet, porticum artis atque culinam vitalem. Fenestrae vitreae trium metrorum et triginta centimetrorum lucem naturalem fluxumque aeris in interiora inducunt. Concretum simplicissimum cum ligno calido coniungitur, dum curvaturae molles et organicae angulos duros substituunt, quod maxime in architectura lignea curvata bibliothecae conspicitur. Mensa formalis atrii sublata est ut fluxus continuus ad peristylium crearetur et commercium inter habitatores foveretur.

Production Technology
Guided by biophilic principles, the design methodology focused on dissolving the barrier between indoors and out. This was achieved through a 6-meter-high lobby and expansive 3.3-meter glazing, maximizing natural light and airflow. The material palette intentionally blends minimalist concrete with warm wood to craft a sophisticated yet gentle atmosphere. A key technique was favoring soft, organic curves over hard angles, most prominent in the library's unique curved wooden architecture.
Design Challenge
The primary creative challenge was translating the abstract concept of community into tangible architectural form. The design had to actively encourage social interaction, not just provide amenities. The key obstacle was overcoming traditional design barriers; removing the formal lobby counter and creating a seamless flow to the central courtyard were crucial decisions. Realizing the project's signature organic forms and soft curves also posed a significant construction challenge, requiring precision to achieve the desired welcoming atmosphere.
Inspiration
Inspired by the human-centric and biophilic principles of WOHA architects, the motive was to create a true community, not just housing. The design fosters a holistic lifestyle for young families by weaving art, nature, and shared experiences into daily life. This approach seeks to elevate residential living by creating an ecosystem where human connection can flourish through shared spaces like the Art Corridor and Living Kitchen, crafting a lifestyle rooted in aesthetic appreciation.
