Half Day House / Cabinet YFY

This house was originally built in the 1960s and once served as an auxiliary dormitory for the Japanese Navy's Sixth Fuel Factory during the period of Japanese rule. After renovation, it was transformed into a hybrid space for both living and working. Architect Lin combined his experiences exploring Eastern gardens with childhood memories of life in the community, weaving together elements of nature, historical memory, and religious imagination within the space. He sought to blur the boundaries between these scenes, allowing modern life to reorganize their relationships. In doing so, this historic house avoids being forcibly restored to its past form, disconnected from contemporary life, or facing demolition.
