Tomorrow Casa

Tomorrow Casa is a living hall designed as a shared community space. Wide stairs shape the entrance and give an open and welcoming impression. Glass covers more than half of the ground floor, so the interior can be seen before it is entered. The second floor avoids window display methods, so visitors are invited to take part rather than only to look. Environmental friendliness guided the project from the first planning stage through to completion. The design seeks a calm dialogue between the building and the city around it.

Monya is a Japanese restaurant with a floor area of about 230 square meters. The west facing facade is formed by tall glass windows, so a very thin wooden lattice was installed across the whole surface to soften the strong sunlight. The interior includes private rooms, a counter where the chef cooks in front of guests, an open space for parties and a terrace seat beside a private garden. One glass private room can be divided in two by a soundproof sliding shutter. The lattice gives privacy without solid walls and creates calm light and shadow.

Min Ben Chi

Min Ben Chi is a dessert shop interior located in Tainan, covering 132.23 square meters. The design brings together modern and classical elements. Part of the original building was preserved, and traces of formwork left on the ceiling and columns create a patina effect. Classical arcs appear on the arch door, the wall surface, the light stand, the couch, the cupboard feet, the chair and the golden spiral staircase that leads to the second floor. Lighting creates a translucent brightness by day and a softer glow at night.
