The Hybrid Sanctuary

The Hybrid Sanctuary is a residential creative studio located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The interior covers 85.8 square meters and joins a private home with a professional workspace. A multifunctional island serves as both a dining surface and a material selection workstation. A traditional ancestral altar is integrated into the minimalist architecture. Curved forms and mineral coatings soften the large beams and columns, and stainless steel strips embedded in the floor provide ambient light. A smart lighting system adjusts color temperature to each activity.
