Project Overview

For the external looks of the building, the concept of borderless painting is designed on the side of the building via the construction of colored glass bricks, which can be seen clearly from the Sun Moon Lake harbor faraway. At night, the projection of light from the interior further accentuates the characteristics of the capsule hotel, sculptured as the unique sign logo.

Design Challenge

The use of sustainable materials in the building structure is a matter of vital significance, which is often merely one of the principles during the overall constructional process, yet is capable of stimulating the residents’ body and mind health, as well as environmental sustainability. Such space is capable of accommodating a hundred people while providing travelers with the desired space for adventure!

The use of energy-saving and eco-friendly building materials should be conducted to construct an ecological building and to create a natural and wonderful foundation for the human environment in coordination with the natural environment.
