Engawa
Engawa Redefining Family Spaces in Traditional Japanese Architecture; Engawa, a distinct feature of traditional Japanese architecture, serves as a bridge between the interior and exterior spaces, blurring boundaries while delineating spatial functions. This architectural element has inspired a novel approach to family interactions, particularly in the design of middle rooms that seamlessly connect the living room, dining area, and study without spatial interference. Drawing from the structural essence of engawa, this innovative design provides ample family storage space.
Engawa Residential House by TSAI DUNG LIN has been highlighted as an outstanding illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Engawa Residential House was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2024. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design accolade which honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
