Text description provided by architect.
Located in the center of Tainan City, one of the early developed cities of Taiwan, situated in an irregular triangle site in-between a quiet neighborhood and a future commercial development.
We intend to use blocks and volumes forming spatial divisions, orienting interior spaces, also merging into the surrounding context.
The design respects Tainan's historical low-rise urban fabric while introducing contemporary elegance. Our approach avoids excessive monumentality, blending seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood.
Balconies and recessed windows create dynamic light and shadow effects, open courtyards and patios for natural ventilation suitable for the southern context, a skylight introduced in the center of the house.
Making the stair is not only for functional circulation but creates an object to transfer and amplify natural brightness which also enhancing visual connections and daily communications between family members.
