Some of the strongest architectural ideas begin with a simple line.
At Gautai Dun Pin in Taipei, the initial sketch already captures what would become one of the building’s defining characteristics: a series of soft, flowing horizontal curves.
Carried through into the completed architecture, these lines wrap around the façade, softening the building’s geometry and creating continuously changing edges, shadows and perspectives throughout the day.
Set within Taipei’s established Minsheng Community, the 13-storey residential building contains just 12 residences, with one home occupying each floor.
Designed by P&T Hong Kong, the project shows how a simple architectural idea can remain remarkably clear from the first sketch through to the finished detail.
