Studio Tngtetshiu Designs the Double Roof House in Tainan

Local design practice Studio Tngtetshiu completes the Double Roof House, which is formed in Tainan. The inspiration behind the home's design is drawn from the 'anonymous' metal buildings that are found in the rural areas of the country. The Double Roof House is comprised of various functions including a home, a playground, and a warehouse. To add some contrast, the studio uses a steel-framed structure and paneling.

Studio Tngtetshiu speaks to Dezeen about the design project, stating "We focused on anonymous building types and compositions, attempting to embody the idea of 'same, same, but different. We hope the architecture can express a sense of familiarity yet evoke a slight sense of unfamiliarity, aiming to engage in a dialogue with the tin-roofed, anonymous buildings commonly seen in rural Taiwan."
