Re48 Storehouse
Re48 Storehouse is a commercial interior created inside a former metal factory in Taichung, Taiwan. The shells of the existing factory buildings were preserved, and new structures were added within them. Ultra-high ceilings, exposed rough metal structures and old industrial machinery were kept in place. A timber framework echoes the steel roof frame at a slightly different angle, creating a layered visual effect. A 14 meter long coffee bar recalls the former assembly line. The 443 square meter space holds a cafe, a gallery, a tile showroom and a design studio.
