SL+A’s Community-led Design for the Center

In August 2022, the Community Services Center moved to a new location that required a unique approach to the design of the new work areas. SL+A offered their expertise pro-bono, assisting in the development of the new space to meet the needs of The Center’s current and future projects. The Center can now cater to the needs of the Taipei community thanks to SL+A’s dedication to community-led design.

Featuring a classroom, teaching kitchen, event room and counselling rooms, the space is both modern and functional. If you're planning an event or activity and looking for a venue or even a partner to collaborate with, then reach out. Contact csc@ communitycenter.org.tw or give them a call at (02) 2836-8134. Their doors are open not only to individuals but also to volunteer groups and organisations seeking a regular and consistent space to thrive. Similarly, if you have any questions or comments about Steven Leach Group (SL+A) or would like to request a project, you can contact the Taipei office at: SL+A INTERNATIONAL ASIA INCORPORATED | 李肇勳室內設計 taipei@sla-group.com Beach

This conscious value-led approach extends not only to their design principles, but also to their community work across Asia. As part of their 51-year celebrations, SL+A raised a substantial NT$407,000 for the Taipei Orphan Welfare Foundation 失親兒福利基金會, the funds going directly towards improving the lives of orphaned children in Taiwan.

The celebrations were part of the Taipei 2023 Annual Group Meeting organised at Sea to Sky. It brought together SL+A’s regional offices from Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai, along with partners, vendors, and sponsors, where the event showcased collaboration, creativity, and compassion. The Taipei Orphan Welfare Foundation contribution reinforces SL+A’s dedication to give back to the communities in which they operate and showcases the inherent compassion of the company to serve the larger community of Taiwan.

After more than ten years in the finance industry in Hong Kong, Wina and her husband Jeff moved to Taiwan at the end of 2020. They bought a piece of land, handbuilt their own house and started growing their own fruits and vegetables.
