The design team retained the life symbol of the local citizens. The black Gothic triangular spire outlined on the facade is the entrance to Christian Church, which makes the new commercial space connect and integrate with the daily life of the public in the practical dimension. The culture of each city has its own unique style, and the building is a major carrier. Therefore, as a brand space, it is particularly important to approach local culture.
The design of the facade is the most difficult part in the design process. In order not to affect the lighting and ventilation, the design team covered the decorative marks and outdoor units of air-conditioners left over from the original building with shutters that are lightweight and have a strong sense of modeling and three-dimensional effect, so as to form an occlusion effect and visual contrast. This is not only the manifestation of aesthetics, but also the embodiment of taking into account geographical features that the bearing and wind capability of the facade are enhanced according to the climate condition with a high frequency of typhoons in the region.
