Rethinking Social Housing
Nature & Neighborhood
Green corridors support urban biodiversity. Clusters of nine homes per floor, 30-meter spacing between buildings, and open-air corridors balance privacy, daylight, ventilation, and neighborly interaction.
Everyday Encounters
A second-floor semi-outdoor walkway connects the courtyard and shared facilities, while outdoor stairways and landings encourage movement and informal encounters.
Community & Shared Living
Co-living units offer shared kitchens and lounges. Flexible shops and an adaptable courtyard accommodate local businesses and community events.
A Façade Rooted in Local Identity
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.
