Description
Commissioned by the client, Atelier Tao+c redesigned and regenerated this 232sqm old building by inserting a capsule hotel that can accommodate 20 people, a community bookstore, and a library into the 7.2-meter high two-story space.The staggering platforms are intertwined with multiple layers of visual connections, sounds, and eye contacts through the two masses, creating a space of floating senses.
The planks of the bookshelf are made from local bamboo, and people can still smell the freshness of the bamboo when they are inside. What you smell and see in this space are intertwined to produce an intriguing journey of the senses.
