The spirit of the two-floor building design reflects a renovation approach rooted in preservation and continuation.

As residents approach the entrance of the building, they are immediately struck by its remarkable appearance. Visually, the door is specially designed to be askew, however, it is the whole building constructed in oblique angle, which makes the illusion. This visual contrast creates a distinctive entry experience, symbolizing the fusion of traditional form with contemporary design. Stepping into the building, it gives a sense of entering a time zone, standing for the embodiment of different eras. The compact area next to the entrance door is formed because of the askew building. It provides a cozy resting space for the returners, paired with the light left from Showa period, evoking a sense of tranquility and nostalgia.

In restoration efforts, meticulous attention is given to both materials and furniture. For instance, the unique serpentine tiles adorning the first-floor ground, a resource scarce in Taiwan, are carefully restored. Similar restoration practices extend to the bathroom tiles and the incorporation of timber materials into the furniture.

In line with the owner's admiration for Japanese architectural style and a uniform aesthetic, the interior embraces an earth-tone color palette, cultivating a serene ambiance. The deliberate selection of light paint hues, paired with the implementation of uneven effects, adds a layer of visual complexity within the earthy decor and furnishings.

Along the ceiling where it meets the skylight, the old tracks remain, now restored within the context of a fresh interior design. The old track serves as a testament to the memories of past residents, while the new interior design signifies the narratives awaiting creation by the current residents.

Moreover, the skylight positioned centrally floods the space with ample natural light, resembling a spotlight that beckons family members to gather around the table and weave their own tales. Various linear light designs are strategically placed throughout the area. As the so-called spotlight dims, these lights illuminate individual spaces where each family member resides, allowing personal activities while maintaining a collective sense of unity within the household.

Starting with the renovation of the main building and continuing with the use of preserved old furniture, each approach exemplifies one of 3R principles - reuse. Additionally, both the restored material locally sourced in Taiwan and construction time shortened for lighting installation significantly reduce carbon footprint. This commitment minimizes environmental impact. Moreover, situated in the sultry southern region of Taiwan, the residence is designed to promote natural ventilation, effectively cooling the interior and reducing reliance on air conditioning.
