Taisi
Taisi is a private residence located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The home covers 83 square meters with a ceiling height of 2.6 meters. Rain tree wood, Taiwan cypress, lotos plaster, tatami and bricks from Toki City in Japan form a calm and vintage interior. The design draws on the Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, a building that combines Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese styles. An open circulation plan and wide windows let light reveal the texture of wood and walls. The kitchen can be opened or closed as needed. The residence also serves as a place for business meetings and family gatherings.
