This adaptive reuse project renews a 1920s ceramics factory in Shuili Township, Taiwan, known as the “Snake Kiln.” Now transformed into a hybrid space featuring a gallery and gift shop, the design blends old and new through a wabi-sabi aesthetic. In addition to modern structural upgrades, the renovation minimizes decorative elements and embraces rustic beauty. Skylights introduce shifting natural light, while an undulating feature wall evokes a sense of primitive calm and reflects the site’s historic legacy, revitalizing kiln culture, local vitality, and visitor flow.
