The program of a warehouse has frequently been overlooked in the field of architectural design. As a result, with restricted resources, the design and construction budget follows. We took on the challenge of creating a warehouse out of the most basic materials while working within a limited budget.

The site itself served as the inspiration for this project, with its mountains, sunlight, wind, and greenery. Using metal sheets to provide a shimmering look, we aimed to make the building mirror the surrounding area's natural beauty. The brief prompted us to reconsider how we view low-quality materials. By emphasizing not only the warehouse's exterior but also its program, eco-sustainability, and the excitement of its patrons, we hoped to alter the way people perceive it.

倉庫的建築設計往往被忽視，在資源受限的情況下，設計與施工預算也相對壓縮。但我們選擇接受這個挑戰，在有限的預算內，以最基本的材料打造一座不一樣的倉庫。

設計靈感來自基地本身——周圍的山巒、陽光、微風與綠意，這些環境元素不只是背景，而是我們想融入建築的核心。我們選用金屬板材，讓建築擁有一種獨特的閃爍光感，隨著光線變化，映照著周遭的自然景致，與環境產生對話。

這次的設計不只是建造一座倉庫，而是一次對「低價材料」認知的重新思考。我們不只是關注外觀，而是更深入地去探討倉庫的空間機能、生態永續性，以及使用者的體驗。我們希望它不再只是冰冷的儲存空間，而是一個能與環境共生、與人產生連結的場域，改變人們對倉庫的刻板印象。
