The project was part of the Kaohsiung Harbour Warehouses competition in 2012, the aim was to propose new warehouse typologies in order to replace old warehouses built in the 1950s and are not capable of facilitating new types of logistics industry in Kaohsiung. The design considerations included structural study, applying external wall structure as an approach to passive design and responds to the irregular site.
Resort L is located in a site where has a strong advantage of phenomenal scenery. The design concept is to create an indoor openness connected outside through material transparency. The architectural mass is a composite of two boxes stacking an L shape representing different domestic programmes. Two outdoor terraces, where can extend interior activities outwards, respectively provide private and public uses for the occupants.
