Inner square shape is the Nakajima working area, it contains simple kitchen equipment and checkout counter. Lights hide on track of the display stands preserve flexible space for exhibits.

Production Technology
Designer breaks the sense of distance of aesthetic space, creating a space that closes to people. The facade uses a large number of glass, make the natural views as a part of design. Interior uses natural materials such as marble, cement, wood, and steel. The material uses on floor is different, the front side uses cement powder to present the sense of nature, at the same time echoing the land of farmers; Wooden floor is used on the back side, emphasizing interaction between human and nature.
Design Challenge
Lots of problems could be found in a 30 year old home such as leaking water, exposed pipeline and etc., designer has to put in efforts to solve and reinforce it. There is a small washroom and abnormal corner near the staircase, designer moves sink of the washroom to the corner to maximize space, the sink was decorated with metal frame mirror for visual unity. Other than that, designer plants new plants, place artworks, so that the sunlight which directly enters the space could be reduce.
Research
This case is on the riverside in a lively city. Designer hopes that this space can be given meaningful through integrating healthy ingredients of local farmers, communication between human and artistic. The space should be regarded as the organism of life, inspire more creations through design, at the same time transmit positive values.
Inspiration
This case is beside Riverbank Park, therefore the inspiration came from the views surrounding it. In order to create a complex commercial space that integrates catering, interior design, aesthetics and product of local farmer, Komet design reforms the 65m2 long shaped, 30 year old commercial space, and let it close to nature. The design idea came from circle of life, the loop shape circulation symbolizes the farm grows out and taken from the ground should be cast away on the ground.
Project Duration
The project finished in December, 2017 in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The compound business area aim for relaxing integrates culture, cafe, souvenir shops and etc. It is in loop shape structure, Nakajima working area was constructed by marble, echoing the quite of nature; the blue facade sheet is to puzzle out wave of the river, creating unique expression of space. The cement structure staircase had been replaces by steel, and embedded it into the wall. To balance the whole visual, designer extends a row of golden round rod to second floor.
