Monka Hotel

This case is located near the Longshan Temple in Taipei, inheriting over one hundred years of history and culture with solid architectural and art value. Hence, we designed this case as a connection for association with the surrounding environment.
To start the case, we reset the geographic and cultural contest of the location of the case to default, carefully read the peripheral environment and find the corresponding approach to best blend in the environment. We attempted to put ambiguity on the border between traditional architecture and modern styles without leaving any traces. The main building of the design features grey architectural concrete plus the different sizes of black windowpane, which quietly stare at the adjacent old buildings without highlight and with the attitude full of humbleness.
We turn the building into a connection between the environment and people, preserving the space for cultural memories and leaving it to the travelers for manifesting its spiritual value.
