Business architectural design
Promoted by the Kaohsiung City Government’s Economic Development Bureau, the Xingda Harbor Fish Market Environmental Improvement Project reimagines the historic market with “Harbor Blue” as its core identity. Rooted in the culture of the sea, the design elevates the spatial quality of the market, creating a more comfortable and welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.
Harbor Blue Canopy
The renovated stalls adopt a unified canopy in alternating shades of blue and white, replacing the once fragmented rooflines. This language of waves and sky conveys a coastal identity, bringing order and rhythm while reinforcing the link between market life and the harbor.
Clear Circulation
A “visual corridor” is formed through continuous canopy frames and color cues, giving visitors an intuitive sense of direction and depth. The design transforms a once-cluttered market into a navigable, inviting streetscape.
Distinctive Entrance
The market entrance features a bold blue steel frame paired with fabric screens, symbolizing the “home of fishermen.” This gateway extends as an open courtyard, positioning the market not only as a trading hub but also as a place for gathering, fostering community identity and belonging.
Harbor Communal Dining
A waterfront dining and leisure zone is defined by sinuous tubular steel seating finished in weather-resistant fluorocarbon paint. Inspired by the rhythm of waves, the benches—paired with shading structures—invite relaxation, family outings, and social gatherings.
Through its open structure and canopy design, the project transforms an outdated market into a welcoming public realm—one that restores order, enhances urban identity, and reestablishes the harbor as a shared cultural stage.

Dawujie Christian Church, located at a street corner in Tainan’s old town, was rebuilt with the design vision of “faith grounded in everyday life, coexisting with the community.” Rather than enclosing itself, the church opens its façade toward the adjacent park, allowing passersby to witness the warmth of daily activities inside. This openness invites not only the curious eye, but also the heart of the neighborhood to draw near.
The first floor features a covered arcade, an entrance lobby, and an open kitchen—transforming the ground level into a communal living room for gatherings, meals, and shared moments. The second floor houses the sanctuary, designed with soft natural lighting and clean lines to create a serene, focused space for reflection and worship. On the third floor, a bright and open play space has been dedicated to children. With a high ceiling and ample daylight, it offers a safe and inspiring environment where local parents and grandparents can accompany their young ones in learning and joy.
At night, the glowing cross on the church’s exterior quietly illuminates the neighborhood—not as a monument, but as a gentle symbol of faith, always present, always welcoming.

Intertuna fishery Co. Ltd
This corporate headquarters was tailor-made for a female general manager, translating her distinctive character—a natural balance of gentleness and strength—into architectural form. The design also draws upon her many years of experience navigating the fisheries industry and the international business world.
The fluid movement of ocean waves is combined with the solidity of concrete, forming a sequence of extending curves and framed views. Layered perspectives unfold through the openings between interior and exterior spaces, responding to the energy of the surrounding urban streets.
Rising naturally from the cityscape, the building appears as a luminous white pearl.

A group of passionate and dedicated coaches, shaped by years of perseverance and experience, stepped forward to pursue a long-held vision and promote the health of the community.
Together, we created a fitness center unlike any other—one built upon shared ideals, professional commitment, and the belief that exercise can become a meaningful part of everyday life.

The design concept draws inspiration from the light and graceful form of the Madagascar almond trees lining the street. A tree-like structural system is organized through numerical geometric patterns and integrated with the station seating, creating a harmonious relationship between the installation and its surrounding environment.

Children’s smiles embody innocence and joy, yet in modern life, the pressures of daily living often diminish our ability to smile. This station reimagines itself as a stage for rediscovering joy—serving as a demonstration project for Kaohsiung’s “City Smile Corridor.” Inspired by children’s playgrounds and cycling outlooks, the design integrates recreational and fitness facilities, offering urban residents a new place to pause, play, and reconnect.
The guiding concept is openness. The ground-level structure is left without barriers, encouraging children to climb, crawl, and explore freely. Layered wall panels form subtle boundaries with adjacent civic buildings, maintaining both ventilation and daylight while ensuring spatial definition.
Playful slides invite children from afar, while the second level houses fitness equipment, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy a fresh perspective of mountain views and railway lines. These long corridors extend into the landscape, evoking a sense of memory and emotional resonance tied to Kaohsiung’s history.
Transparency is emphasized throughout: aside from enclosed restrooms, most spaces remain open, transforming the playground from a horizontal surface into a vertical spatial experience. Through the interplay of structure and ground materials, the design creates a dynamic, multi-dimensional environment that blurs the boundary between recreation, architecture, and city life.

A New Horizon Toward the Sea
Meals and ideas alike are transformed by the shifting play of light and shadow across the ocean’s surface. From this vantage point, overlooking Kaohsiung Harbor, no experience could feel more extraordinary.
Descending the steps, the sea unfolds in full view—at once vast and real, yet so close it seems to lie beneath one’s feet, offering a rare and intimate encounter with the ocean.
Interwoven structural lines sculpt a new green hillside, where the building nestles discreetly among dense trees. Varied entrances shape distinct spatial experiences, while pathways and cycling routes gradually open into new perspectives. These passages extend into the city, offering not only fresh outlooks but also a new dining destination and observation point along Kaohsiung’s waterfront.
Why cant we stay at the bridge? re-motify the bridge to a new viewpoint of city.
This bridge try to imagine the new images bridge that can get close to level of sea, and helping bicycle around the city to touch new scenes by their foots and eyes.
Fishing game can be a wonderful thing? Counting stars at night could close to sea?What a NEW image of bridge.

Trees are surrounded by the spirit
but also embraced all the souls.
Lines as trees aerials
but also extend their life
Once tree grow up
Dynasty change from Japan to Taiwan
School establish its history
People live with the field
Life goes on, memories saves.
The line goes on...

Kaohsiung Labor Museum
Under the open sky, sunlight streams freely into a series of display windows showcasing workers’ tools—like storefront vitrines reimagined as part of an urban streetscape. By integrating with the adjacent Labor Plaza, the design extends beyond architecture to embrace the warmth and character of Kaohsiung’s community.
Conceived as a museum dedicated to laborers, this project emerged from a national competition, inviting submissions from architectural firms across Taiwan. After a rigorous process of ideas and efforts, we are honored to have been awarded First Prize.
