JURY CITATION
The building is nicely designed and completed by converting an old factory into
a new modern shop with other public functions. The factory's old structure was
maintained with new inserted two glass boxes of house-shape to emphasize the
area of commercial. Wooden timbers are embedded in the old steel structures,
making the space more fantastic and attractive. Another very interesting concept
is to bring in the public facilities, such as the indoor playground and the
activity room, which not only serve the public but also help with the promotion
of the cloth brand. Therefore, the shop in the middle is like a showcase to the
public in general. The idea to combine public service with commercial activities
leads to the question: how can public service as not only the government's duty
attract commercial investment under the profit-driven society? This project
may have given a possible answer.
