The project location is in Hsinchu City, Taiwam; it's a rezoning area from farmland and a military base. The village that once stood there dates from 1950. The memories of the old village and childhood neighborhood are rapidly disappearing with modern development. The ideal of this project is to recreate a space that reminds one of an old village by using modern architecture, a place where streets and courtyards are available for children to play in and nature is nearby, and to stimulate diversity for each household through a combination of residential and park.
