Details

Inspired by Taiwan’s iconic irrigation ponds, reinterpreting rippling water as two overlapping sloped roofs. Like a lightweight hat floating above, the structure channels rainwater downward, while a central cut-out opens to the sky and allows light to pass through. 40 slender columns support interlocked volumes that rise naturally from the ground. Nighttime lighting—curved lines, wall washers, and uplights—adds radiance and transparency. Materials of rammed earth, mineral panels, concrete, glass in beige and grey hues echo the terrain. With natural ventilation and a slatted rear entry, the high-ceilinged space achieves comfort and elegance.
