Jinjing Lane Residence

Two Houses and a Garden

Nestled in the pristine mountains of Nantou, Taiwan, this project encompasses two houses—one for the architect and another for her parents—set amidst four acres of thoughtfully curated landscape. Revitalizing a deforested site, the design reinterprets traditional Taiwanese country houses by embedding itself into the natural environment. Promoting ecological vitality, adopting sustainable construction techniques, and laying the groundwork for a sustainable lifestyle, the project creates a sanctuary where the built and natural environment coexist harmoniously, offering its residents the comfort of home and a lasting connection to the land.
