The station renovation project embraces a “lightweight, minimalist” approach, thoughtfully grounded in the design philosophy of “heritage and integration.” By stripping away unnecessary ornamentation, this innovative design fosters a meaningful dialogue between the new steel-framed mezzanine and the historic warehouse, which has stood for nearly a century. At the heart of this design lies a deep appreciation for Taiwan’s Hakka culture. The concept of the “Hakka Living Room” emerges, transforming elements of openness, warmth, and interactivity into vibrant public spaces. Notably, the central crimson spiral staircase captures attention and imagination; it is inspired by the traditional red paper decorations that adorn Hakka festivals. Its gracefully organic curves not only disrupt the linear flow but also serve as a striking focal point within the space. Moreover, the landscape design pays homage to history by preserving trees from the Japanese colonial era, as well as the original structures of the station’s warehouse. As a result, the overall design seamlessly blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. Through arched floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light floods the interior while echoing the outdoor paving axis, which enriches the connection to the site’s historical context. In this way, the project not only revitalizes the station but also honors and integrates its rich heritage into a contemporary setting. The public space offers a captivating and inclusive experience, seamlessly integrated into its historic surroundings. It preserves the striking integrity of the original steel truss structure and the rugged beauty of the red brick walls, while the floor is adorned with warm, orange-brown vintage ceramic tiles, adding a touch of nostalgia. As visitors ascend to the second floor, they will be greeted by a circular walkway featuring elegant transparent tempered glass railings. This walkway not only connects to the lower level through a stunning red spiral staircase but also creates a mesmerizing floating visual effect that enhances the space’s interactive allure. The interplay of exposed trusses and pendant lights overhead further enriches this dynamic environment. Moreover, the elongated corridor masterfully blends vintage spherical wall lamps with a sleek black mirrored ceiling, offering a compelling visual fusion of classic and contemporary design elements. In the lodging area, the capsule hotel design emerges as a sanctuary of privacy and comfort. With light wood grain finishes and a modular layout, it caters to modern needs while maintaining an inviting atmosphere. The inclusion of spherical lighting and strategically placed grab bar installations adds sophistication, ensuring a refined ambiance throughout the space. This project focuses on the comprehensive renovation of an aging building from the Japanese colonial period, aiming to extend its structural lifespan while embodying the principles of sustainable architecture.
