Misplaced Geometry
Resort for W. J. Design Ltd.
Set against the backdrop of a rolling mountain range, the building is a geometrically depicted treescape. White branches with imagery of spray paint overlap, dividing the dark gray walls into irregular, angular shapes. The shadows created by the protrusion of the building wander across the wall in the light. People from all walks of life seem to forget the passage of time and find themselves lost in the slow pace of life. Green trees stand like a fortress around the building, and the lawn in the garden attracts sheep. The building's exterior is a departure from the usual norm.

Unique Properties
Unique staggered connection of two buildings to enjoy the beauty of the highest point: According to the advantages of the location, unlike the previous planning of buildings, the design team divided the project into two buildings with unequal heights, unequal widths, and different depths, A and B. The exterior is harmonized. The spray paintings on the northwest side of the exterior wall simulate the interlocking and disorderly growth of tree branches, creating an irregular triangular geometry. Different from the traditional method of painting the exterior wall, the painting is unrestrained.

Production Technology
Exterior Tile, Gray Hexagon, Irregular Glass, Hollow Brick, Geometrics, Floor Lamps, Paint, Stone, and Wood Grain. The exterior of the building is grayscale. The exterior walls and columns are clad in at least three shapes of brick. Hexagonal bricks of varying brightness form the overhanging facades and semi-outdoor terrace areas. The staggered facade of thin, rectangular white bricks is intentionally painted with cement coating to create a striped look.
Design Challenge
The cool weather and ecologically diverse environment of Yangmingshan are a fascinating place to visit. However, the humidity of the mountain and the sulfur in the hot springs are the most difficult challenges for the construction and future maintenance of the project. During the construction, most of the building materials had to be treated with sulfur resistance. Nevertheless, the forces of nature could not be defeated by proactive prevention. The client and the design team are only able to maximize the pre-planning while returning to the original intention of being in harmony with nature.
Project Duration
The project finished in July 2018 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
When the mist haunts the forest, the warm yellow lights scattered on the ground guide the way for those who are lost. Nestled in the mountains close to the blue sky and green fields, the house is decorated with a forest figure to reveal the coziness of nature. At night, the resort seems to be rooted in this place. Branches and shadows spread upwards, while the house is still illuminated, accompanied by the sound of unbridled laughter.
Research
Taking advantage of the site, the design team connected the two buildings on unequal foundations with a ramp. To create a harmonious look, the design team took an irregular arrangement of slanting shafts at the corridor, and a visualization of lines parallel to the slope. The building is painted in light gray, with white paint on the exterior walls intertwined to simulate tree branches. Some of the walls are covered with hexagonal tiles in different shades, echoing the shadows of the surrounding trees.
Inspiration
The client is an entrepreneur who has always insisted on the quality of his work and living environment. His next life plan after retirement is to build a resort with iconic significance and characteristics. As an entrepreneur, he often can't focus on himself during the process of starting a business. Only when he is in nature, he can purify his mind. Therefore, the project is based on blending with nature, and the design team worked together to realize this vision. The house is built on the ground, brick by brick, embodying the same values as in the process of entrepreneurship.
