Repurposing an Old Industrial Warehouse for a Natural and Comfortable Atmosphere

The D Showroom, a skincare brand showroom in Taiwan, blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting the brand's spirit of simplicity and uniqueness. Designed by Tzu-Chien Chiang, the project repurposes an old industrial warehouse while preserving its original structure to create a natural and comfortable atmosphere.

The spacious and high-ceilinged space of the warehouse maximizes space utilization with the addition of a mezzanine and stair. Large windows introduce outdoor plants and sunlight, reducing the use of artificial lighting and promoting environmental sustainability.

The interior materials, including wood, gravel paint, and iron pieces, create a natural atmosphere, reflecting the brand's minimalist and eco-friendly philosophy. The furniture and decorations are made of natural elements such as paper and rattan, further emphasizing the brand's concept.

By using “light and shadow,” the designer creates a silhouetted window grille combining changes in sunlight, subtly incorporating the brand's essence without overdoing it while maintaining the original look. The new space embodies elegance and confidence while keeping its character, conveying the brand's beautiful culture and philosophy of life from the inside out.

The project, located in Taiwan, started in January 2022 and was completed in June 2022. The commercial space, once an old warehouse, has been transformed to preserve its original constructive elements and combine them with creative design, highlighting the timeless charm of the brand.

The designer overcame challenges by adding mezzanine floors and stairs to a spacious warehouse, using lightweight iron structures and metal mesh to maintain visibility and light. The staircase next to the floor-to-ceiling windows is a focal point that draws people's attention and adds interactive amusement to the indoor space.

Congratulations to Tzu-Chien Chiang for winning the Iron A' Design Award in 2024 for this well-designed, practical, and innovative creation that reflects professional and industrial requirements.
