此案坐落於台北市西南側的萬華區〈舊稱艋舺〉，為台北最早發展、也是最老舊的區域，由於基地三面臨路，鄰近許多老舊建築、廟宇及傳統市場，如何創造出融入環境紋理又能適度屏蔽周遭吵雜環境的建築成為設計的主要目標！

事實上，與基地隔街相望的廟宇建築引發了本案的設計靈感，模擬廟宇山門與前埕的概念，一方面區隔空間、一方面做為內外的緩衝；經過轉化，本案以大型門拱的量體做出空間內外的區隔，再以內縮的庭院營造出緩衝空間，一方面過濾外界的嘈雜、一方面安靜地歡迎訪客。

由於基地三面臨路，平面配置上做出了多處上述內縮的庭園，有的作為停車用途、有的作為入口用途、有些則圍塑出內部空間的微型庭院，增加了室內空間更多不同的景觀及景深！並且將陽光及綠化向內部空間延伸。

沿街面的建築外觀，進一步呼應周邊的老舊環境，設計上不採用新穎的材料及形體，以斑剝的牆為發想，以質樸的水泥質感藉由分割、層疊、碎化的手法，將新的材料碎化、重新堆砌出、模仿出歲月的紋理，層疊錯落出的開口，則隱隱可窺見街邊的風景，讓新與舊緩緩地融合。

This sale center is located in Wanhua District, west of Taipei city. Aged streets, buildings and the traditional market busyness fill the surrounding neighborhood. Our design goal is to carve a sense of serenity out of this noisy reality by creating an abstract space disengaging itself from the surrounding context.

Truth be told, a nearby temple is truly the root of our inspiration. Its peaceful presence and the calmness inside are untouched by the world around it. The temple gate serves as an interface of two realities. It separates. It invites. It embraces.

We choose solid walls along the pedestrian to establish the center’s boundaries as well as to enhance structure’s inner integrity. Carefully placed zigzag wall openings are intentional to kindle a dialogue. Curvy lines are meant for an inviting extension. All together, the sum becomes a connection.

Three voids on each side of the structure were created, with one open space for parking purpose. Those void spaces serve as buffers, like the temple gate, linking two realities. They filter out the noise and invite the intrigued. By filling the voids with sunlight, greenery, air and glimpses of city views, they prepare you for the serenity awaits inside.
