The Enchanted Transformation: From Tobacco Factory to Urban Restaurant. Crafting a multifunctional space from what was once an outdated cigarette factory, this design project namely 'ISLAND133' aims to create a remarkable impression on people while incorporating a unique dining experience. Honoring the old manufacturer's characteristics and visual verticality, the space incorporates elements of Taiwanese Modernism, creating an urban oasis that reflects life on the island of Taiwan. The design strives to create a harmonious combination of contrasting elements that do not overshadow the original architectural identity. Moreover, as a nod to the factory's history, ISLAND133 is committed to incorporating the existing structure without using any bolts, employing innovative techniques for seamless integration.
