About XOR Creative Research Hoahoanga Roto Tari
He roto tari a XOR Creative Research kei roto i tētahi whare hono o Taiwana i hangaia i te tau 1972 i te tāone o Taichung. Ka hono te whakahōutanga i te wā o mua ki te wā o nāianei. Ko te aronga o mua kua whakakīkīhia ki ngā matapihi wharangi mā, engari ko te roto he ahurei o ēnei rā me ngā tohutoro ahurea. Kei te tū tētahi arawhata koili i runga i te ōwehenga koura, e tū ana ki mua i ngā papa tuarā kikorangi hōhonu. Ko te papa pereki Taiwana taketake kua tiakina te nuinga, kua whakakotahitia ki ngā pereki mōhiti, papa rākau parquet me te mapere ā-rohe kua whakatakotoria hei ahua herehere hēringi (herringbone). Ka whakawehe ngā tatau kōpaki i te wāhi hui tuwhera me te whare pukapuka tauira kākahu (swatch library).

Nearby community, dubbed by Teachers New Village, although it is close to downtown area, has been neglected by nowadays generation, due to aging population.

- 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
