Place
Place is a public facility in Taipei, Taiwan, with a total area of 350 square meters and an interior of 106 square meters. The design adapts the features of a bathhouse, a patio and a terrace. Metal construction allows visitors to see through the space, where sunlight and futuristic elements are combined. Overlapping metal bars and reflections direct attention to the original architecture. A waterscape at the entrance merges metal and stone and leaves room for plants to grow. A white steel ladder connects the courtyard with the rooftop.
Place Public Facility by Millton Yu was selected as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Place Public Facility won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
