About Archi-Lab Laboratory of Architecture

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.

Design Details

Unique Properties
In this Archi-lab (architecture laboratory), we are experimenting “outside in”. The combination of the common exterior material in this sub-tropical city, such as brick, concrete, tiles and re-bars, are re-organized to bring the exterior scale to interior. The mixing of the new walls and old brick, the book shelves made from re-bars, are all architecture experiments which are on our way to explore the possibilities in spatial design.
Inspiration
aipei is a typical Asian city in which the style of the architecture is strongly affected by wester modernism. Taipei is a rainy humid city that makes the most of exterior walls full of tiles. We see more and more old tile buildings from the past decades.
Realization and Technology
brick, concrete, tiles and re-bars
