A first-floor lobby waiting to be reinterpreted
How can “vitality” be expressed
without using new resources?
Through the prudence of Farglory employees, the imagination of designers, and the persistence of construction crews,
the process was one of conflict and compromise.
After the clash, they decided to flip the wall tiles,
letting the raw texture of the materials open up infinite possibilities.
The result was an rustic depiction of nature’s landscapes—
wall tiles transformed into mountain scenery, floor seams into rivers,
and scattered dice-like chairs as a metaphor for the construction industry’s mining activities.

Material source:
Recycled rebar, reclaimed wood, cement, regenerated foam, recycled fabric.
Material features:
Structural components recovered from demolition sites, and regenerated materials made from discarded furniture and textiles.
The bench frame is pieced together from recycled rebar and wood. The wood was dipped in ferrous acetate as a natural dye, giving it an understated grain pattern with deep, rich colors. The seat cushion was deliberately divided into several sections of the same shape, each filled with different materials—cushioning, wood, or cement—inviting users to make a choice before sitting down. This act of choosing not only encourages a re-exploration of physical sensation but also reflects the lobby’s design theme of “vitality.” The seating surfaces are filled with 85% recycled polyurethane foam and covered in fabric woven from regenerated textiles, demonstrating sustainability practices in detail.
