Embrace innovation and sustainability.
Embrace innovation and sustainability is the guiding principle of my design philosophy. As a multidisciplinary architecture and interior designer, I believe that every space has the potential to tell a story and leave a lasting impact on its inhabitants. To achieve this, My approach to design is to combine creativity with functionality and a deep understanding of the environment.
I strive to incorporate innovative solutions that not only enhance the aesthetics of a space, but also promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for exploring new materials and technologies, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional design to find innovative solutions that are both functional and sustainable.
My commitment to quality and dedication to excellence drive me to take on new challenges and create inspiring spaces that make a positive impact on the world around us. Whether it’s a residential project or a large-scale commercial space, I approach each project with the same level of enthusiasm, attention to detail, and sustainability-focused mindset.

Bio-Optimized Greenhouse
Revolutionizing prototype with biomaterials
The primary aim of a greenhouse is to provide optimal conditions for plant growth. Nevertheless, the construction components and maintenance contribute to an immensely negative effect on the environment. In this project, we would like to provide a possible solution from a multi-disciplinary perspective, integrating computational design, digital fabrication, material science and biochemical dynamics to introduce an innovative prototype in contrast to the conventional architectural design of the glasshouse.
The primary architectural proposal was established based on the data generated from a series of computational simulations of predominantly wind and radiation. The linkage of the data using programming commands thus developed an optimal structure, which was then integrated with bio-transforming hydrogel biomaterials containing bio-pigment to establish the final prototype. The hydrogel imitates the human skin ‘barrier’ system for building the facade, controlling the amount of light to get through. The result is the final concept of the sustainable greenhouse.

Tainan City AnNan District Sports Center Eco-community sports complex
Visualised by ChaoChun Kung Biophilia Architecture Association
The project is located on both sides of the river in the Jiufenzi eco-community in the Annan district of Tainan. The design is based on the imagery of the Taijiang River settlement and the Taijiang River house (bamboo cage) to create a sports complex that belongs to the Taijiang River area. The project is designed as two buildings connected by a double-layered bridge in the center, not only considering the users of the sports hall, but also focusing on the living path of the local residents, creating a sports area that combines park landscape, riverside walkway, and ecological waters. We hope that this sports complex will not only provide people with a good indoor and outdoor sports place, but also let them experience the culture and customs of Taijiang, which is a series of stories about the alternation of land and water.
Taipei 101 Sky Park (Phase-II) Sustainable Circular Design Redefines Vertical Living
Furniture and Interior Design by ChaoChun Kung Bio-architecture Formosana
Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan is a vertical living community. According to statistics, there are approximately 13,000 employees entering and leaving Taipei 101 every day. The challenge was to design a comfortable interior space for the 35th floor of the building for its tenants to relish.
From the first phase to the second phase of the Sky Park living service area, we reduced the material waste. We implemented the “rental and purchase” service on the 35th floor of furniture (IKEA), lamps (Philips), and plants (floral space). Manufacturers provide the furniture and products required by Taipei 101, regularly inspect, repair and replace them, breaking the traditional furniture “manufacturing-buying-using-discarding” model, and instead opting for the “product as a service” concept of a circular economy.
