Located in the Tsaotun Township of Nantou County in Taiwan, the Yu-Hsiu Museum of Arts was completed in October of 2015, after 4 years of design development. The request received by AMBi Studio?s design team, led by architect and founder Wei-Li Liao, was for a building that was "subtle," "delicate" and "clean." The building?s focus is therefore on creating a harmonious relationship between the manmade and naturally formed architectural elements, paying respect to the surrounding Jiu-Jiu Peaks. This relationship is demonstrated in the combination of the building?s artificially constructed corridors and the existing vegetation in the area, and the museum?s doubled-façade construction which creates an "intermediary" space between outside and inside.
