Archi-Lab
Archi-Lab is an architecture studio interior designed as a place for spatial experiments. The design brings exterior materials inside. Brick, concrete, tiles and re-bars are common exterior materials in the sub-tropical city of Taipei, where rain and humidity have led to tiled outer walls. Within Archi-Lab, these materials are re-organized to bring the scale of the exterior into the interior. New walls are mixed with old brick, and the book shelves are made from re-bars. The intent is to explore new possibilities in spatial design.
Archi-Lab Laboratory of Architecture by Yen-Ling Chen was highlighted as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Archi-Lab Laboratory of Architecture received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design prize which recognizes excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
