Design Guidelines

  • Initiate the island’s sustainable recycling systems, such as renewable energy, water resource and waste management, local materials, design for recycling, and methods of construction.
  • Think about the vision of life in Qingwan in the future, as well as the individual and collective living fields and ecological landscapes.
  • Connect with the historical and cultural characteristics of Penghu to create a dialogue between localization and globalization.

Spatial Requirements

The spatial design shall be holiday-oriented. It could be a single building or a multi-building complex with separate access.

  • Main building: The area for one floor space is about 30-45 ping, including a living room, dining room, kitchen (or kitchenette), one or two suites (similar to those in a hotel), and a 4-piece bathroom set (which separates wet and dry zones). The main entrance and service entrance shall be separated. It shall be at most 2 floors above ground.
  • The design of the garden landscape (mainly formed by local plants; and pool space is required) can be incorporated in the building design.
