The “epidemic” has changed the life and definition of home. In addition to providing physical protection, home has also become a haven for spiritual rest. In this project, we try to use warm natural colors with a light wood grain to create a space of gentle and slow pace. Visually, we integrate the necessary storage with the wall facade. The hanging design at the bottom adds a touch of lightness to the heavy high cabinet, and each open case can also be regarded as the best toy area and storage area for preschool children.
This project is an international education center in an old town, connecting teachers and students from around the world. The design is an innovative and open space which fosters diverse working methods and cultural integration. We hope this layout and the resulting modern workflow will have a local influence, encouraging free interaction between people of different cultural backgrounds.
Originally, the project’s layout was a traditional closed office, and such an oppressive atmosphere doesn’t fit into the future trends of this industry. We aim to foster an environment teeming with youth, vitality and energy, given the liberal image and characteristics of international education.
This house represents a microcosm of contemporary Taiwan. Our client envisions a home for his male friends, female co-workers, and parents. He has requested a design that acknowledges his life-style while accommodating his work relationships and honoring traditional familial obligations. This throws an extremely engaging and complex mix of issues into the design of our house. It contrasts communal and cross-generational living with issues of privacy and gender. This resembles the melting pot of modernity and tradition that has come to be known as Taiwan.
In the history of Chinese culture of five thousand years, there was an extraordinary man, who had majestic vision, was gifted with unique taste in aesthetics and foods, and could discover the delicacies from simple food. He proudly called himself the “gourmet”, and his dream was to try all delicious foods on earth.
His name was Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Giants of Tang and Song Prose. He was also the first gourmet historically known.
The gourmet spirit of Su Dongpo, the literary giant in Song Dynasty, is infused into the new brand of creative Cantonese cuisine of Ji Pin. We associate Su’s characteristics as a gourmet with generosity, boldness, and gracefulness. This is foundation of the brand in the field of delicacies.
The main target of « Tao Zhu Yin Yuan » project has been devoted to promoting carbon‐absorbing architecture, in order to decrease the temperature of the Earth. Faced with the crisis of global warming and climate change, it is must be participation of all enterprises in urging the governments to draft incentive programs that world lead to carbon reduction in the sector of industry, transportation and daily life.
This project also carries out Fan’s Li philosophy and think of the world as one community. It makes changes that bring benefits to not only ourselves but to neighbor or even the entire world.
International architecture and design firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) has completed residential tower La Bella Vita in the fast-growing 7th District of Taichung, Taiwan. The 128-meter-high tower aims to integrate the character and identity of nearby Charlotte Park, while fostering a dynamic relationship with the surrounding urban context. Located in close proximity to several department stores, civic buildings and cultural venues, the 33,000-sqm high-rise creates a new residential community in the commercial heart of the city, and activates the street level areas with a series of retail spaces.
Pop music, while a global phenomenon, is regional in its definition. The Taipei music scene typifies the phenomenon; while it crosses borders and cultures and dialects, it nevertheless has produced styles and genres with distinct transnational form and appeal. Though many aspects of pop culture exist in a hyper-technological or virtual realm, there is a need for a defined physical hub dedicated to the production and reception of pop.
The residence usually reveals the imprint of local people’s life pattern from time and culture. This project is located in the heart of Taipei. In this city with both of bustling pace and rigorous traditional culture, the residence presents the record of the daily life of the family.
The building faces the streets of all directions fearlessly, forming the fragmental indoor layout. The residents often feel the inconvenience in using the space. We fill the fragmental areas with the service functions of the residence to create the complete and open public and private space. The design point of the open space is the layer presentation. The connection and openness of the living room, dining room, and kitchen will be felt when you enter the house from the balcony. Through the furniture and surrounding design corresponding to each space, from the exterior to the interior, from the front to the back, the different materials or the furniture heights are applied to present the rich but not messy space expression. The gray concrete texture serves as the basis of the space. The use of wood, iron pieces, terrazzo, and striped glass creates the mild and lively tone, which is embellished with the golden metal parts to make some exquisiteness.
