Millton Yu · CLIENT: M. INTERIOR DESIGN Co., LTD
Place is a public facility in Taipei, Taiwan, with a total area of 350 square meters and an interior of 106 square meters. The design adapts the features of a bathhouse, a patio and a terrace. Metal construction allows visitors to see through the space, where sunlight and futuristic elements are combined. Overlapping metal bars and reflections direct attention to the original architecture. A waterscape at the entrance merges metal and stone and leaves room for plants to grow. A white steel ladder connects the courtyard with the rooftop.

- Production Technology
- The designer used a lot of metal construction to make people be able to see through; sunlight and sci-fi elements are fused together into the elegant space. Besides, by overlapping the metal bars and reflection, the designer would like to lead people appreciate the original architecture through the lines. The waterscape by the entrance merges with metal and stone material, vacating the space for plants to grow, which presents the symbiosis of inorganic and organic.
- Design Challenge
- Looking out the window, the courtyard is another virtual reality. The indoor elements extend radially to the outdoors with the common centre point. Along with the building, the stepped platform is paved with wood panels radially to solve the poor drainage.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in January 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- People experience the process of observing and being observed through the white metal bars, glass, and mirror, figuring out the nature of objects. The white steel ladder connects the courtyard with rooftop where the view is broad; surrounded by greenery, people can relax their minds here.
- Inspiration
- Inspired from history, culture and life, the designer tried to create a space for people to feel immersive while walking into it.
