Founded in 2016, the design works of Atelier tao+c ranged from a piece of pendant lamp to a compound development, from the interior of small urban apartments to the renovation of old rural houses, from shops on the street to a youth community.
Parallel with the practical works, the office has involved with research and teaching, focus on subjects such as revival of old buildings and objects in domestic landscape. Regardless a wide range of scales and programs, we tackled with careful investigations and research, tapping into a better understanding on typology.
The design method is semi-architectural semi-interior, retreating to the inner world, allowing the space to grow from the inside and break through the perimeter, intermediating the inside and outside.
Our projects are executed with humble and ordinary materials by the precise detailing elevate the mundane to produce an exquisite sense of scale alongside the overall object as well as within the spaces. we seek to explore the beauty of everyday life, pick up the evocative clues, rediscovering values hidden in simplicity and allow life to unfold to us all its complexities.
