Language Center Shared Space

Language Center

Language Center is an interior design project for a university language department in Taiwan, completed in July 2024. The 296 square meter space is organized around a cross-shaped circulation axis. The entrance area links the lounge, the reading area, the offices and the classrooms through clear and simple pathways. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in daylight and open views to the central courtyard. The original terrazzo flooring and brick walls were preserved, and natural wood veneer was used on the ceiling and window frames. Light and dark tones follow the Tai Chi idea of balance.

Transient Light Shared Space

Transient Light

Transient Light is a shared community space of 353.7 square meters located in Taiwan. The interior holds a reception center, a reading area, a video room and a gym. The design is inspired by the seed, drawing on its rounded shape, hard shell and spirit of growth. A ceiling height of 4.5 meters allows an open plan with few physical partitions. Curved bookshelves of black glass separate the reception center from the reading area. Materials include tiles, marble, glass and diatomaceous earth wallpaper in earthy tones.

The power of inheritance comes from the reverence for life. The beehive-like design of the play area is based on the organization and continuation of natural life, with a pastel color palette and soft touch for children.

Cozy Life Shared Space

Cozy Life

Cozy Life is a shared workspace created inside a street-side house more than forty years old in Taiwan. The long and narrow layout limited natural light, so partitions were removed and openings were cut in the floors and fitted with glass to bring daylight down from a rooftop patio. Recycled wood, glass and tiles preserve the nostalgic character of the old building. The first floor holds a cafe and a bar, while the upper floors hold a photography studio, separate work areas and a yoga studio that can also host exhibitions and talks.
