UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design is combination of humanity, history and environment to create a modern commercial space. The steel was used to support the main body of the building, and the suspended staircase extended upward to enhance the visual strength, presenting a sleek, suspended and light appearance of the building. Combining the recycled materials of the old building, the designer used transparent light boxes and cold metal materials to create a penetrating space, presenting a modern space full of humanity.

The designer covered the old iron window grilles with glass and installed the lighting function in it, reflecting its beautiful patterns, creating a sense of rhythm through light and shadow, and serving as a partition between meeting spaces. This became the main focus of the room.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: As there were other buildings next to it, the space underneath the elevated building could space up the pedestrian road, while providing the main space on the upper floor to be separated from the street and allowing the transparent space to remain private. At this height, people could enjoy the view of the forest park and the mountains. The designer used the metallic ironwork with mineral paint to give the interior space a textured and broader appearance, while the exterior was finished with tempered glass.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The two story building has a total of 274.38 square meters of interior space.
