In Hsinchu’s historic Dongmen district, this renovation transforms a memory-laden house into a luminous, safe, and modern residence. The once perilous staircase was reshaped into a gentle ascent, improving circulation while shielding the kitchen from fumes. A rooftop glass pavilion opens to daylight and night skies, offering a retreat above the city. Forgotten corners became niches for storage and display, while the living room’s asymmetrical stone wall layers rhythm and depth. Blending refinement with warmth, the design turns constraints into enduring value.
