Cutting Corner Store & Gallery / JC Architecture
Site. Cutting Corner is located on a busy alley in the Eastern District of Taipei. The client desired a commercial space that could accommodate shops, offices, cafes, and exhibitions. The greatest difficulty for this project was to effectively distinguish the public and private spaces while implementing a unique sectional design that highlights the activities on the alley. While the client leaned towards a bold and elaborate design, we found ourselves facing the challenge of connecting an elaborate design to its surroundings. As space is located on a hotspot in the alley, we took on the challenge of finding new design methods that would both an honor and enhance the street façade of Taipei city.
