Archi-Lab is an architecture studio interior designed as a place for spatial experiments. The design brings exterior materials inside. Brick, concrete, tiles and re-bars are common exterior materials in the sub-tropical city of Taipei, where rain and humidity have led to tiled outer walls. Within Archi-Lab, these materials are re-organized to bring the scale of the exterior into the interior. New walls are mixed with old brick, and the book shelves are made from re-bars. The intent is to explore new possibilities in spatial design.
