This project is situated directly above the Dongmen (East Gate) Station of Taipei Metro, preserving the land's history and the urban changes passed down by three generations of landowners. The site covers an area of 240 m², with a building height of 50 meters spanning B4F to 15F. The design takes inspiration from East Gate (Jingfumen) of Taipei, capturing its spirit of "welcoming the sun and guarding the city" and blending family feelings with urban culture. Using metal structures and stone proportions, it creates a contemporary landmark at the intersection of culture and daily life.
