RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is on the rooftop; thus, it is easy to be hot and muggy during summer time. There was a wall with architectural concrete in the indoor space. Though the wall was built in poor construction techniques and stained as time goes by, the design team decided to keep it because the wall bears the weight of client’s memory. The design team fist polished the walls to remove mildew and stain, then coating it to restore the brand-new texture.
CHALLENGE: The organic vegetable garden is set on the rooftop; by doing so, the space is given a new meaning, the temperature is effectively reduced, and the life is enriched with joy. Besides, the crops can be provided not only to the owner but friends, which conforms to the contemporary concept of urban farm, and promotes the communication between people.
