本案為一棟多戶建築，位處成排的住宅中，對於鄰近大樓而言，此量體的北立面將會是未來數十年的唯一「風景」。設計師為了緩和 20 公尺長的牆體對鄰近居民造成的壓迫感，將立面分割為 875 公釐的小方塊，藉此縮小立面，再打造三種模板製造「垂直條紋」、「水平條紋」和「起伏」的表面。

The multi-tenant building is inserted into a row of residential buildings. For the adjacent residential building, the north elevation of the building is a "scenery" that will exist for decades to come. In order to soften the oppressive feeling created by the 20-meter-long fair-faced RC wall, the elevation is scaled down by dividing it into 875-mm squares. In addition, three types of formwork were used to create an uneven surface: "vertical stripes," "horizontal stripes," and "undulate" formwork.

基於黑化速度的差異，網格圖案將逐漸變得清晰，使北立面成為多變化的「風景」。由於二樓和三樓由醫療租戶佔用，團隊特意以非開放的方式進行規劃，使樓梯置於立面一側，並用 8 毫米的方形鋁材覆蓋，而110 毫米的正方形在尺寸上與相鄰建築物的外牆磚相近，從而造就連續感。未來，常春藤將覆蓋整座樓梯，將猶如蚊帳般的格子轉化為充滿綠意的立面。

The checkered pattern will gradually become clearer due to the difference in the speed of the blackening. The elevation will become a "scenery" that changes continuously. Since the second and third floors will be occupied by medical tenants, it is appropriate to enhance grounding rather than openness. Therefore, the staircase is placed on the facade side and covered with 8mm square aluminum. The 110 mm square is close in size to the exterior tiles of the adjacent buildings, creating a sense of continuity. In the future, it is expected that ivy will cover the staircase, and the mosquito net-like latticework will become a facade covered with greenery.
