Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This building was built in 1982, located in the hill area at Hsinchu city. Entering indoors, the cement hollow-brick wall attracts attention, creating a contrast with glass-brick facade. Both bricks (concrete and glass) imply a synthesis of old days and new era, and allow light transmitting freely spread out. Moreover, upstairs, balcony fences and front doors were restored in woods. The ceiling comprises curve and linear details, creating clean and inviting layers.
Dimensions & Packaging: Started from October 2018 and finished in February 2019.
Built area 165 square meter.
Tags: glass, cement, transparency, photography studio, colonial styles
Production Technology: To reminisce about historical colonial styles, we preserved existing flooring and windows as much as possible. The mixed-color marble flooring was kept intact, and the wood-framed fold-up windows were preserved. Meanwhile, walls and ceilings were refurbished with old, hand-feel, materials: terrazzo and particle boards...etc.
Design Challenge: How to build a new glass brick wall integrating with old building structure is a key study for this project.
Research: The interior is a long narrow site plan, causing poor daylight during day time. As a solution, we partially demolished interior partition wall, and rebuild the facade with glass bricks.
Inspiration: The alteration of light is a key factor for photo-shooting; thus, we supposed photography studio to coexist with natural daylight as much as possible. Inspired from membrane properties of semi-transparency, the facade was rebuilt with glass bricks. Glass transparency undermines both sloping ground-line and visual heftiness, and the building becomes a semi-clear carrier.
Project Duration: Hsinchu city, Taiwan
Operation Flow: In this three-story building: the first floor is arranged for public area and photographer ’s office, and there are balcony and private bedrooms at the second floor, and then the photography studio with pop-up color-screen is located at the third floor.
In day time, the frost-finished glass wall provides light-filled ambiance and great privacy. In dawn, because of the properties of glass bricks, while interior lighting were lit up, the neighbor and passers-by can sit on the bench and share illumination via exterior side of glass brick wall, creating a connection between community and people.
