Design Details

Unique Properties
Most old style schools in Taiwan are structural with many beams and columns, the previous design also had a cement convex structure under the window sill, and the door was added to use as storage. The part of the beams and columns uses a two-color shape to weaken its heavy volume, and indirect light sources are added to form a power of the array. After the window sill area was removed, a window with a relatively high platform level was left. The bar reading area was built at the original height by the window. It can provide different seating and reading fashion. If you are tired, you can look at the greenery outside the window.
Inspiration
The library is a space where people can relax and study, the initial inspiration was to create a space for children to use their favorite position without restraint.Children can stand up, sit down or even lie down to read in their favorite position.
Research
In order for the children to concentrate on reading, whether it is lighting layout or material selection, it is designed after a holist approach. The color of the space is black, white, gray and wood grain color, so that the space has a calm feeling. It allows sunlight to enter and pass through a large number of windows, and the position of the lamps is changed to improve the lighting of the indoor space as well.
Challenge
