Fairy Tale Forest is an amenity space of 950 square meters in Taichung, Taiwan. The interior follows a loop layout that makes the narrow area varied and interesting. Arcs of different sizes divide the space by function and form the public art theme. An arc-shaped flower stand of black-grey stone greets people at the entrance. Water features, greenery and animal sculptures create a storybook setting. Multi-layer planting balances humidity and temperature, lets air circulate and brings in sunlight, so the use of air conditioning and lighting is reduced.

- Production Technology
- The designer adopted the loop layout to make the narrow space unique and interesting, so that it can be connected with the design core of the forest-like scene and fairy tales. The design team used arcs to divide the space based on different functions; the public art theme, fairy tale, is created from different sizes of arcs.
- Design Challenge
- The Multi-layer planting provides not only the seasonal scenery, but a platform for people to learn indigenous trees of Taiwan.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in October 2020 in Taichung, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The arc-shaped flower stand made of black-grey stone represents the image that people make a bow and greet to whoever enter it. Supplemented by evergreen shrub and light reflection, a pine forest perfectly intertwines with the building materials, stone, greenery and public art; besides, it brings out the delicacy of building materials and plantings indiscernibly as well.
- Research
- Multi-layer planting is used to mildly adjust the weather, and to balance the humidity and temperature. Air is allowed to circulate; sunlight is introduced into the space. The use of air conditioner and lighting is able to be reduced so that urban heat island effect can be alleviated and eco-friendliness is presented.
- Inspiration
- The design is based on the idea of fairy tale forest, which is elaborated into a story, blending into space perfectly with the scenery indoor and outdoor.
