- BWL Taichung is a dual-purpose environment combining a wellness-focused retail hub and a contemporary workplace. Its spatial narrative integrates fluted joinery, sculptural forms, and biophilic features inspired by Taiwanese architecture. Sustainability, refined craftsmanship, and spatial flow define its uniqueness as a holistic experience that unites community, culture, and design excellence.
- ᱢᱟᱯ ᱟᱨ ᱯᱮᱠᱮᱡᱤᱝ
- A sales gallery and workplace of 11,300 square foot across two floors in a commercial building in Taichung.

- Realised through collaborative craftsmanship, the project uses bespoke fluted joinery, modular partitions, and precision metal detailing. Materials were selected for sustainability, including FSC-certified timber, low-VOC finishes, and recyclable components. Artificial skylights and efficient ventilation systems enhance environmental comfort and aesthetic harmony.
- ᱰᱤᱡᱟᱭᱱ ᱪᱮᱞᱮᱧ
- The greatest challenge was achieving global brand consistency while expressing authentic Taiwanese identity. Balancing symbolic architectural references with modern accessibility required deep cultural and material research. Constraints in ceiling height and sustainability standards further demanded innovative structural and lighting solutions to preserve openness and energy efficiency.
- ᱜᱚᱵᱮᱥᱚᱱᱟ
- Research was behavioural and spatial, analysing user interaction, dwell patterns, and ergonomics. Methods included observational studies, staff interviews, and on-site prototyping. Data revealed needs for flexibility and calmness in customer movement. Insights informed the spatial sequence, material tactility, and environmental design, enhancing wellness-driven brand experiences.
- ᱯᱨᱮᱨᱚᱱᱟ
- The design draws inspiration from Taiwanese temple rhythms, where vertical and rounded forms evoke both structure and serenity. The project reinterprets these architectural cues through contemporary materials and lighting. The aim was to craft an environment reflecting balance between nature and technology, tradition and modernity, public energy and private calm.
- ᱯᱨᱚᱡᱮᱠᱴ ᱥᱚᱢᱚᱭ
- The project commenced in May 2023 and was completed in May 2024. It occupies two floors within a commercial building in Taichung and serves as a regional hub for wellness engagement and corporate collaboration.
- ᱠᱟᱹᱢᱤ ᱦᱚᱨ
- Visitors are guided through an intuitive spatial journey defined by a meandering brass floor inlay and continuous ceiling light line. Spaces transition seamlessly from retail discovery to consultation and event areas, fostering connection and well-being. The design encourages exploration, promoting natural movement and comfort across the customer and workplace levels.
