Using the sequence of "ascending, overlooking, and looking upward," the site, shaped like a triangle, accommodates training rooms, staff dorms, family quarters, and a spiritual center. This design embodies the philosophy of elderly living as inspired by the notion of "gazing toward the mountains."
Located within the Suang-Lien Social Welfare Center, the fourth phase seamlessly integrates into the existing architectural layout. This design aims to provide elderly residents with new living experiences while fostering increased interaction opportunities with younger individuals, thus cultivating a diverse community atmosphere within the park.
Adapting to the triangular site, the layout places accommodation, administrative, and spiritual center spaces in mutual support. The main residential areas, dominated by dormitories and family companion rooms, face inward towards the park, featuring a brick-red exterior that blends seamlessly with the structures of phases one, two, and three. Administrative support facilities are situated below the dormitories, while the spiritual center extends towards the mountains. As one ascends, sunlight filters through, granting seniors serene views of the pond and mountains from the second-floor platform, fostering a peaceful ambiance.
Entering the spiritual room via the ground floor lobby, the interior extends up to the fourth floor, where gray walls and indirect lighting create a serene ambiance. Long windows draw in cool air from the pond, using buoyancy ventilation to exhaust hot air for energy efficiency. A sky bridge connects the spiritual room to the main building, forming an outdoor spiritual space on the roof. The lobby and platform below act as communal areas where families can gather, encouraging interaction between older and younger residents, achieving a harmonious state of "intergenerational cohabitation."
