About Nan Hsing Interior Design
Nan Hsing is a school library created inside an old elementary school classroom in Taiwan. The space covers about 1494 square feet. Beams and columns are treated in two colors and combined with indirect lighting to reduce their heavy appearance. A raised bar reading area is built along the windows, allowing views of the greenery outside. Materials include wear-resistant floor tiles, laminate sheets, plastic aluminum panels, black mirror and a custom aluminum frame. Black, white, gray and wood tones create a calm place for children to read.
Press Kit
- 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.

- Design Challenge
- it is difficult to do too many styling designs due to the budget is limited, try to reduce too many design techniques, so use tonal materials, lighting and change the way of reading as the design fashion for this time.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Changhua, Taiwan in February 2018 and was completed in Changhua, Taiwan in May 2019
- Operation Flow
- The reading environment should be quiet and calm, so the children's space does not have too many colors and too many cartoon patterns. This design is to allow children to read and learn in a relaxing and comfortable space. Therefore, such a space can really allow children to concentrate on reading and learning
- 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.
- 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.
