Regarding Boundless Symbiosis Condominium Public Areas

Boundless Symbiosis is an interior design for the shared public areas of a residential building in Taichung. The project covers about 624 square meters. Bamboo Green marble from the exterior facade is extended into the lobby, and a double height frame with clear glass opens the interior toward the street and the nearby parks. On the second floor, structural columns are clad in mirrored stainless steel, so the concrete structure appears lighter. A book gallery and an island style seating layout support quiet reading and shared conversation.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Boundless Symbiosis dwells softly in the Section 2, Dunhua Road, Beitun District of Taichung, where the edges of city dissolve into the verdant whispers of Shuinan Xinping Park and Central Park. Here, architecture breathes with nature, under the gentle philosophy of boundless symbiosis, a dialogue woven into walls and light, giving space a story both tender and deep.
Inspiration
With humanity at its heart, this design threads together structure, earth, and time. Boundless Symbiosis borrows from the ancient art of the Eastern garden, where scenery is lent, and views are framed, then stirs in whispers of dematerialization and organic growth. Indoor halls and outdoor gardens blur like ink meeting water, initiating a poetic dialogue between urban density and wild grace. The result is a spiritual sanctuary where structures recede and nature reclaims the center stage.
Research
The design concept of the second-floor circulating book gallery centers on dematerialization. By cladding structural columns with high-precision mirrored stainless steel instead of concealing them with decorative wood, the heaviness of the concrete structure is visually dissolved. These visual barriers are transformed into reflective surfaces, ingeniously merging the natural ambiance with the architectural space.
Challenge
In Social Archipelago space, rigid seating gives way to an island-hopping layout, where ergonomic furnishings drift like tranquil isles in an open expanse. This fluid arrangement returns freedom to the form, allowing the space to breathe and adapt, equally welcoming to solitary reflection or shared conversation. A sunken topography gently lowers the sightline, dissolving visual barriers and drawing occupants deeper into the landscape.
Realization and Technology
To dissolve the boundary between internal and external, the lobby design continues the ethos of understated luxury of building, extending the Bamboo Green marble from the exterior facade into the interior space. Drawing from the Eastern art of borrowing scenery,the interior unfolds through a dual height frame, a living canvas that layers vision into poetry. Clear glass breathes with the seasons, gathering street whispers and garden hues into the room, stretching space into a soft, expansive dream.
Operation and Interaction
On the ground floor, the flow of movement is conceived with poetic restraint, framing street scenes and gardens like living paintings brought softly indoors. Residents are invited to wander with a gentle curiosity, tracing a path that unveils each corner of space as a quiet discovery. The spatial atmosphere of second floor shifts toward a tone of humanistic intellect.
Project Duration and Location
Boundless Symbiosis project locate in the Section 2, Dunhua Road, Beitun District of Taichung. This project is scheduled for completion in April 2025.
Specifications
This project covers an area of approximately 624 square meters.
