During World War II, cane sugar was an important cash crop and strategic goods. Sugar had medical purposes, and byproduct alcohol could be used as fuel. Heito Sugar Factory and Heito Airport became the main targets for the Allied attacks.
1977_1994 / Industrial pollution
Because the sugarcane refinery created a large amount of bagasse, a factory was built to transform the waste into paper. The paper factory officially began operations in 1977. When it closed in 1994, the factory had 600 employees and 24-hour operations.

The elongated structure is enclosed on three sides by a completely closed brick facade. The volume, closed to the east, south and west and open to the north, is the basis for an energy-optimized office building. The inspiration for the brick facade is the alabaster fold of the Beethoven statue by Max Klinger, which is located in the Leipzig Bilder Museum. Max Klinger created a paradoxical perception here. The viewer sees a seemingly fluent light scarf over the knees of Beethoven and recognizes at the same time that it consists of solid stone t's an rare opportunity to create a side of building without window, in the first attempt we do try to use the double wall system to created window using the gap that create by rotating the bricks, but because budget and structure reason. so the final solution are creating 7 type of brick, each looks like it got rotated for an angle, so without compromise the structure system for a 3 stories building.

JINYA Residential complex
Hsinchu / City of Arch
Hsinchu, in northern Taiwan, has a history rooted in its vibrant red soil, ideal for brick-making since the 18th century. The red bricks, a symbol of the region, flourished, turning Hsinchu into a brick production hub. The Japanese colonization era (1895-1945) brought architectural elegance, with red bricks defining iconic buildings and arch-adorned streets. Arch walkways, a hallmark of this period, added charm and artistic flair to the cityscape. Today, the legacy of red brick and arches remains integral to Hsinchu's identity, visible in landmarks that preserve the cultural significance of its red earth. This architectural journey showcases Hsinchu's transformation into a city defined by unique heritage, leaving a lasting impact on its vibrant cultural tapestry.
Taiwan, Hsinchu City Taiwan Technology Park
The transition from farmland to the imposition of vertical city outlines led to a loss of rural identity and severed the intimate connection residents once enjoyed with the land. The elimination of the organic farmland passages created a palpable sense of disconnection, casting the area in the light of an emotionless urban expanse. In connection with this redevelopment area, some old villages and commercial streets still remain near the design location. Before Development After Development
Passage of soil and water
Massing requirement of the Site
The massing proposed by the local developer would lead to two separate building masses to accommodate the site, causing a disconnect between each street block and hindering connectivity. Additionally, the tall massing of the new building generates ambivalence towards the local neighborhood.
Two site as one
The idea behind the design is to connect the two building sites, which can mitigate the impact caused by the architectural structures and create an area resembling a village rather than just two tall buildings.
Most efficient sunlight planning
The planning concept aims to optimize sunlight efficiency, with each building strategically facing south to maximize natural light. This intentional alignment enhances living quality, sustainability, and energy efficiency. A central element is the creation of a spacious plaza at the complex's front, serving as a welcoming communal space, fostering social interaction, and acting as a sunlit haven. The open space positively influences the microclimate, making the plaza a vibrant hub for respite and connection amidst the architecture.
Sublime Horizon
The design philosophy for Sublime Horizon aims to soften the skyline by dispersing building heights, creating an illusion of a village or harmonious landscape. Key elements include varying building heights for a softened skyline, an optical illusion of a quaint village, and careful integration with the existing skyline. The concept focuses on organic development, a timeless aesthetic, and community-focused spaces to foster a sense of community. Landscaped integration enhances the overall visual appeal, connecting the built environment with nature. Sublime Horizon redefines the skyline, prioritizing harmony and a unique, inviting architectural experience.
Optimizing Sunlight Efficiency
Sun Shade Concept optimizes sunlight, creating a holistic environment that fosters community, sustainability, and a connection with nature. The welcoming plaza serves as a vibrant hub for residents, offering respite and connection in the architectural landscape.
A Shielded Haven in Wind City
In addressing the prevalent heavy northeast winds in Hsinchu city, the design concept focuses on alleviating physical discomfort. The architecture's massing creates a protective surround, strategically guiding and diverting the wind flow. This considerate planning aims to prevent interference from strong winds in plazas and building openings, establishing shielded spaces for residents to enjoy. The design aims to turn the challenge of strong winds into an opportunity by crafting comfortable, wind-sheltered environments that seamlessly harmonize with the natural elements of Hsinchu city.
House, Street, Village
The development concept for Hsinchu evolves organically, resembling a progression from individual houses to interconnected streets and eventually forming a village. Each structure is designed with an arch as its opening, collectively contributing to the creation of a unique "City of Arch." This intentional architectural continuity fosters a seamless transition from the scale of a house to a vibrant street and, ultimately, a cohesive village, harmonizing the urban landscape with distinctive arch elements.
Merging with Farmland Surroundings
Situated amidst farmland, the design concept harmoniously integrates the newly constructed structures with the local natural surroundings. Extensive parks and rooftop gardens are utilized, not only as aesthetic elements but as intentional spaces to seamlessly merge the architecture with the adjacent farmland. This approach not only contributes to the visual appeal but also fosters a connection between the built environment and the lush, natural landscape, creating a symbiotic relationship between the urban and rural elements.
Undefined Space / Porosity
In local villages, undefined spaces serve diverse functions, showcasing higher porosity. An open area transforms seamlessly into a playground, gathering plaza, or a spot for drying rice. Similarly, an irrigation ditch becomes versatile, doubling as a waterslide or a communal laundry space. This fluidity reflects the interconnectedness of people and spaces, fostering a dynamic and adaptive lifestyle that blurs the boundaries between the practical and the recreational in both rural and urban environments.
Harmonious Gathering Space
The design concept for the village front facade centers around an open plaza crafted to serve as a dynamic gathering and event space for residents. Embracing nature, garden vegetation is thoughtfully integrated, creating a green oasis. Pavilions, designed in harmony with the architectural facade, encircle the plaza, offering shelter and enhancing the overall aesthetic. The arches of the store fronts seamlessly connect the two sides, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that blurs the lines between nature and architecture, fostering a sense of community and togetherness.
Dynamic Mix of Commercial: Enriching Daily Life
This concept envisions a vibrant mix of commercial and residential spaces, fostering a dynamic and lively daily life experience. Commercial stores seamlessly integrate with local shops, creating a connected atmosphere. The front plaza, adorned with natural vegetation and expansive open spaces, adds a touch of nature to the urban environment. The residential lobby serves as a multifunctional hub, incorporating elements like a shared kitchen, library, and meeting spaces. This blend of programs aims to create a dynamic synergy, enriching the lives of both commercial and residential occupants in a harmonious and interconnected community setting.
Pedestrian Arcade : Crafting Harmony
The Pedestrian Arcade, a distinctive architectural form in South Asia, is purposefully designed to address the challenges of humidity and direct sunlight. Serving as a microclimate adjustment tool, the arcade is an intentional space that preserves natural wind flow while strategically avoiding direct sunlight. This thoughtful design not only enhances comfort for pedestrians but also creates a harmonious atmosphere, providing shelter from the elements and fostering a pleasant environment for leisurely strolls and community interaction.
Jinya
The living connection between Hsinchu's vibrant history and its modern identity. Blending innovation with nostalgic elements, the tower symbolizes a commitment to hospitality, community, and shared spaces, transcending the concept of a mere dwelling. It serves as an ode to Hsinchu's legacy, where history, culture, and contemporary living converge, offering an experience deeply rooted in the city's dynamic soul—a symbol of architectural excellence rekindling lost memories in the heart of Hsinchu.

Japanese during their colonial rule in Taiwan from 1895 to 1945. Indeed, the Japanese administration in Taiwan during that period implemented various urban planning initiatives, including the creation of recreational areas inspired by Western ideals.
The establishment of seaside parks was part of a broader effort to modernize and enhance the quality of life in colonial cities. These parks were designed not only for leisure but also to showcase Japan's technological advancements and embrace a more Westernized lifestyle.
The parks often featured well-planned landscaping, open spaces, and amenities for relaxation and recreation. They served as spaces for social gatherings, cultural events, and recreational activities, reflecting the influence of Western urban planning concepts.
Miaoli Sugar Factory
Taisugar Fongyuan Sugar Factory in Miaoli County. Established in 1905, this sugar factory played a crucial role in the economic development of the region. The Japanese administration encouraged sugar cultivation as part of their larger plan to make Taiwan economically self-sufficient. The fertile plains of Miaoli were particularly suitable for sugar cane cultivation, and the establishment of sugar factories brought significant changes to the local landscape.
The presence of sugar factories not only stimulated economic growth but also led to the development of infrastructure such as railways and ports for transporting the sugar to other parts of Taiwan and abroad. The cities and towns that emerged around these factories became centers of economic activity, with a focus on sugar production and processing.
Reconnection of Ocean and City memories
Positioning the architecture to face west allows for optimal views of the seaside. This strategic orientation, especially at higher levels, maximizes the visual connection with the ocean, offering breathtaking panoramas of sunsets and the vast expanse of water.
Being situated at the outskirts of city development, the design can also focus on preserving the natural landscape. Integrating green spaces, landscaping, and perhaps even reflecting elements of the nearby ocean in the architecture can contribute to a harmonious blend of urban and natural elements.

Facade dissolving
Craft the facade with a composition that mimics the process of dissolution. Use varying opacity, transparency, and patterns to symbolize the gradual dissolving of sugar or salt crystals. This approach not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a metaphor for transformation and change.
Integrate strategically placed windows that contribute to the dissolution concept. Windows arranged in a manner that suggests fragmentation or dissolution, creating an engaging interplay of light and shadow within the interior spaces.
Break Wind Facade
the design incorporates double layers or deep windows to effectively control sunlight exposure. This includes features like exterior shading devices, overhangs, or adjustable louvers, enabling residents to regulate the amount of sunlight entering interior spaces. Not only does this enhance visual comfort, but it also contributes to energy efficiency. Deep windows are specifically designed to capture and channel sea breezes into the building, promoting natural ventilation. This not only improves indoor air quality but also creates a pleasant environment. The west-facing orientation allows residents to capitalize on prevailing winds coming from the sea. This design adheres to principles of energy efficiency by optimizing natural light and ventilation. Such an approach can lead to reduced dependence on artificial lighting and mechanical cooling systems, thereby fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly building.
