Background

This project is by the sea in Penghu County, which comprises many islets. Due to the restrictions of the geographical environment, fisheries and tourism became the dominant industries in the county. Every summer a lot of tourists swarm throughout the islands. When northeast monsoon starts prevailing in winter, numerous aquatic activities become offseason. The area gets back to tranquility.

Materials

All the building materials are imported directly from mainland Taiwan. The building is built by metal beams and columns and covered by fiberglass (manufactured by yacht production techniques) to speed up the construction. Typically the average temperature is about 28°C during the summer in Penghu, so the white-based facade and translucent black glasses can effectively prevent the heat. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide a great view of the sea.
