inorder studio completes sweeten sales center: grand urban

 

Perched along the embankment of Han River in Taichung’s East District, Taiwan, the Sweeten Sales Center: GRAND URBAN by INORDER Studio turns its back on the city’s bustle and looks out upon a rarely found tranquility. The design, led by lead architect Chingju Chen, draws on humble, everyday materials with poetic lighting for this atmospheric property showroom.

 

Rooted in simplicity and locality, the materiality incorporates stones sourced from the nearby riverbank, utilitarian plastic grates commonly found in pigpens, and industrial metal trusses one might see in a factory, to create an inviting space for any prospective homeowner that steps through.

the property showroom and sales center embraces tranquility

 

INORDER Studio’s selected material palette frames a vast expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass, fostering an open, light-filled environment within Sweeten Sales Center: GRAND URBAN. Stone slabs, arranged in sequence from the front yard to the raised platform, continue inward to the walls, blurring the lines between exterior and interior. Within this space, one’s view gradually filters through the textures of layer upon layer of grid-like screens that filter views, creating an interplay of light and shadow that evolves throughout the day.  

 

Meanwhile, slender steel cable track lights gently and unobtrusively illuminate each partition, casting delicate floral-like patterns on the walls. ‘In the soft glow of these lights — each forming its own tiny bloom — every visitor finds a guiding companion on their journey through,’ note the Taiwan based architects.
