Hotel Resonance Taipei, located on an L-plan corner site near Taipei Main Station business district, is a narrow 14-story slab of guest rooms extending east-west, on a double-height restaurant wing running north-south. It's an urbane addition to an aged neighborhood and a model for the redevelopment of old apartment buildings on adjoining streets.

The building, including columns, slabs and exterior walls, is all constructed with precast concrete system. The design evolved from a simple right-angled building, to a lively interplay of projection and recession. Several bays jut out like half-open drawers in a chest and the main block is set back 13 meters from the building on the north side, to provide a landscaped forecourt that's open to the public. The existing trees on site were moved to safe ground during the construction and are re-planted back to the courtyard when the hotel is completed. Pergolas formed from steel outriggers extend out to north and south, mediating between the slab and open space.

Vertical slits of different widths filter light on the long facades, but on the contrary, the short east and west ends of the slab have oversized square windows. That alternation of expansive and restrained fenestrations creates a lively surface rhythm, and makes it an example of architecturally imaginative hotel. The design with elegant, compact hotel rooms for business travelers, and spacious public spaces inventively uses its confined site and serves as a welcome amenity for local residents.
