Timeless Harmony - Reviving Hsinchu's Legacy

Embracing Hsinchu's rich history, our architectural vision blends the elegance of the Japanese occupation era with the dynamism of the Hsinchu Science Park's transformative impact. Varied building heights mimic a mountain city's organic growth, offering panoramic views. Arch walkways and brick elements connect the hospitality complex with existing old villages, forming a bridge between past and present. Rooftop gardens at different levels provide spaces for relaxation and community gatherings. Seamless transitions from dynamic open spaces to flexible zones encourage diverse cultural expressions. Entrance alcoves and street corner lounges invite guests into a vibrant narrative of Hsinchu's street life. This design integrates with the existing villages, fostering community engagement and economic growth. Sustainability is prioritized with green building technologies and community gardens. The JINYA complex becomes a living tribute, resonating with the memories and cultural essence that define Hsinchu's timeless identity.
