Located next to Huanbei Station on the Taoyuan Metro, Zhongli No. 8 Huanbei Social Housing will provide 365 homes, including one- to three-bedroom apartments and co-living units. Schools, public services, and parks are all nearby.
Ground-floor shops, a community lobby, and a public plaza connect the development to the metro station, nearby green spaces, and everyday amenities, extending neighborhood life into the housing complex.
A second-floor semi-outdoor walkway connects the courtyard and shared facilities, while outdoor stairways and landings encourage movement and informal encounters.
Co-living units offer shared kitchens and lounges. Flexible shops and an adaptable courtyard accommodate local businesses and community events.
Inspired by the changing light of Zhongli’s ponds, perforated metal panels reinterpret the character of Taiwan’s historic military dependents’ villages while helping regulate sunlight and airflow.
