A building that respects the land and the surrounding environment.
The land is located on the edge of a mountain forest in the Xinyi District of Taipei City (Central Business District of Taipei ). One side of the land faces the busy city while the other faces a vast mountain forest.
The land has a gentle slope of natural terrain that faces the sun. The land shape is also an irregular triangle.
The slightly contradictory environment of city and mountain terrain promotes the potential for different level of integration and transformation.
Therefore, in respect the land and the surrounding environment, our hope is to build a home belong- ing to the nature that anyone would want to live in.

“I’d like to live in a place, where its ambiance is ambiguous, less like a home, more like a sanctuary in dream, where I could feel isolated and indulged with my on-going collections in this timeless, sacred space.”
Located in one of Taipei’s most expensive districts, this 40-year-old house was renovated a few years ago by the the owners’ family elders. However, the design did not meet the owners’ needs and made living troublesome and inconvenient. The owners pondered on the issue and decided to transform the house as a gift to their son (i.e., a home where he can live and grow up happily and comfortably) prior to his entrance to kindergarten.
