The project involves planning a residential common area near Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. The main clientele are the hospital's medical staff and the elderly, with the theme of 鈥淐af茅 at the foot of the mountain鈥. The design combines Scandinavian style with natural elements like wind, water, and greenery to create an environment resembling a Scandinavian forest. The goal is to provide a comfortable and relaxing living experience. The project also includes various public facilities and modern technology to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space that maximizes efficiency and encourages community interaction.



The conventional underutilization of the lobby space in residential buildings, primarily designated for a reception desk and mail management, prompted a rethinking of its functionality. In response, our project introduces a popular coffee shop within the lobby area, integrating it with mail services, a meeting room, and a socializing space. This multipurpose approach aims to enhance resident engagement and rejuvenate the environment. Furthermore, the incorporation of natural elements such as stone walls, flowing water, and woodland features is intended to cultivate a tranquil ambiance inspired by the Scandinavian mountain foothills.



The project is centered on the theme of a "Caf茅 at the foot of the mountain" to establish a natural spatial context, providing inhabitants with a relaxed and comfortable living environment. Incorporating stone veneer and wood, the design also integrates an inverted depiction of a mountain village on the ceiling. Furthermore, to cater to modern needs while fostering a natural ambiance, the team deliberately implemented a concealed design to obscure technological equipment.



In response to evolving social dynamics, the team has devised a strategic plan to tailor public spaces to the preferences of contemporary youth and the practical needs of household families. The design integrates functional zones such as cafes, classrooms, and bookstores, alongside the implementation of personalized technological mailboxes. This approach not only amplifies user convenience but also fosters an environment conducive to public engagement. By enhancing user-friendliness and adaptability, the design mitigates the issue of underutilized public amenities, marking a notable departure from past challenges.
