- Unique Properties
- "24 Frames of Lightwell" is an experiential space bringing commerce, fashion, art, and nature together in a renovated 50-year-old building in Taipei. The project offers solutions to old walkup-apartment renovation through material selection and subtractive design operation with minimal environmental impacts. The lightweight approach is applied to the entire lightwell and facade for the creation of "24 Frames" that influence the interior environment and magnify how visitors sense the surroundings
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 353 m2 of the space area

- rebirth, renovation, old building, experiential retail, retail, select shop, gallery, lightwell, frames, taipei
- Production Technology
- In terms of material selection for generating a newborn atmosphere in the old building, the project uses reinterpretation of the existing material to highlight the texture of the old building. For instance, "modern terrazzo panels" are used in the select shop while the existing "terrazzo staircase" are restored by oil-painting. The biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was built in 1967 and many material and technique was lost.
- Design Challenge
- As the project aiming to conserve the urban fabric and offer potential renovation solutions, the biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was originally built in 1967. For instance, "Goose yellow terrazzo staircase", "scattered wood-patterned concrete ceiling", "neon green mini tiles" are common building materials and techniques in 60’s- 80’s in Taiwan as well as the housing typology of "walk-up apartment", but cannot be found nowadays.
- Inspiration
- Currently most of the implemented plans for urban regeneration and development in Taipei are being carried out by reconstruction. The newly built tall walls block the surrounding environment and cut off the urban fabric. In contrast, this project offers another solution to walkup-apartments renovation with minimal environmental impacts, which is to create the "24 frames" as a framework of the space allowing client to integrate various fields together perfectly in a 50-year-old building.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 and built in May 2020 in Taipei
- Operation Flow
- Through the "24 frames", playful interactions are created among surroundings, visitors and the artworks.
