About this design

This inviting outdoor seating area belongs to Liangji Youfang, a beautifully preserved heritage building. The dominant palette features warm terracotta reds from the signature rope-weave chairs, earthy brick tones, and lush forest greens from the surrounding mature trees. The material selection is particularly distinctive, with handcrafted red rope chairs paired with black metal frames contrasting against the textured brick facade and weathered wooden decking. Natural daylight filters through the dense canopy of an ancient tree, creating soft dappled shadows that add depth and character. The spatial layout cleverly uses the building's existing colonnade and overhang to create a semi-sheltered transitional space between interior and garden. The overall mood is relaxed, nostalgic, and refined. This setting perfectly suits those who appreciate slow living, cultural heritage, and thoughtful adaptive reuse of historic architecture, making it an ideal spot for afternoon tea, quiet conversations, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of old Taiwan.

  • Preserve or expose original heritage brickwork and structural columns to add authentic texture and history
  • Choose warm, earthy color palettes that echo traditional Taiwanese architecture while adding modern comfort
