Project Background

This area obtained a usage permit in 1992 and was appraised as a "sea sand house" by the Taiwan Provincial Civil Engineering Technicians Association in 2000. It has been under the management of the Taipei City Government. The construction in this area has been completed for more than 20 years. Apart from the need for updates in building facilities and space utilization, more than half of the total of 203 residential buildings in the area have suffered from erosion caused by sea sand. Under Article 13 of the Taipei City Urban Renewal Autonomy Ordinance, legally constructed buildings that have been damaged by earthquakes, windstorms, floods, fires, explosions, or other force majeure events, as well as buildings made with high-chlorine ion concrete and radiation-contaminated buildings deemed to have potential dangers by the competent building authority, with 80% or more of the owners consenting and the land area and total floor area of the legally constructed buildings both exceeding 80%, are eligible to apply for delineating renewal units.
Objectives
(1) Solve the structural safety issues of buildings made with high-chlorine ions and reconstruct them to enhance living quality and public safety.
(2) Strengthen building functions, create a high－quality living environment, and enhance urban disaster prevention and relief systems.

Architectural Design

The architectural design of the renewal units focuses on clean lines and soft color tones, in harmony with the local urban environment, to continue the visual landscape of the surrounding buildings.

The eastern, northern, and southern sides of the renewal units will have setbacks of at least 4 meters without any covering pedestrian walkways, making smooth connections with the roads and no protrusions for disaster prevention and relief spaces.

Additional underground parking spaces will be provided to reduce the parking shortage in the current alleys.
