Revitalizing Traditional Taiwanese Terraced House

Ris Interior Design Co., Ltd. presents XOR Creative Research, a project led by Hsin Ting Weng, aimed at revitalizing an old indigenous Taiwanese terraced house in Taichung city, built in 1972. The project is a fusion between the past and new era, showcasing modernized interior of cultural undertones while preserving the traditional building's structure.

The building, located in the Teachers New Village, was neglected due to an aging population, and the project seeks to revitalize the local community. The renovation features a spiral staircase built on the golden ratio, deep blue backdrops, and a minimalist comparison with bygones, preserving the building's structure and vernacular wooden truss framework underneath the slope ceiling.

The project, which started in September 2018 and finished in March 2019, combines traditional material techniques from the 1970s with modern elements, creating a 'tapestry' effect with the flooring. The design was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2020 for its outstanding and creatively ingenious approach.
