The ideas of this project come from the meandering alleys of the oldtown, the stepping plateau and the river bed in terms of geographic texture. The massing arrangement starts from rigorous and organized stepping blocks shifting to random and scattered cluster appearance as kind of interpretation regarding geographic imagination. Furthermore, corner walls of those blocks shift again to form various gaps in different directions which brings in lights feeling like shuttling along the alleys.

       Those stepping blocks literally follow the existing datum and align with the buildings nearby along the main street in an urban perspective of view. On the other side, those random blocks separate again to represent more variation and organic appearance facing oldtown in the north and allow the maximum light inside the building.

        The space organization is based on the occupancy intensity and moving through main vertical core located by a 20-meter recessed entry plaza in the south-west corner which also connects the service corridor leading to the pedestrian boulevard the other side. On the other words, this meandering path connects both sides of the streets as a short-cut along with community office, meeting rooms and vertical core, also a 200-people community center aside.

      整體的想像來自於大溪地理上的特色山階、河床與蜿蜒曲折的老街巷弄；地形上的山階(台地)構成了階梯式分段的聚落，整體外觀塊體的佈置由整齊階梯式的堆疊層次轉變為碎化錯落的有機排列，一方面回應地理形態上的特殊性，一方面回應環境的都市基調-由都市面相對嚴謹的寬度、高度分割轉變為舊城區相對有機性的佈局。

      整體外觀塊體上，試圖以錯落的轉角牆面打破完整的空間塊體面，企圖透過隙縫與光影線條營造錯落的老街質感。材質安排上在透過漸變的顏色象徵與大溪土地的緊密性的連結，點綴著磚牆、木質牆來詮釋舊城意涵與產業意涵。

      空間佈局上，由使用強度的高低，依序由地面層往空間高度排列分佈，藉由街角退縮的遮陰廣場串連主要的垂直動線與貫穿地面層的服務路徑，也藉此與高流動量的活動中心共同組成具巷弄感的流動性佈局；外觀策略上，由嚴謹塊體間的窗洞轉變為窗面中的自由塊體與複層式的外觀分割，來表達都市環境的多樣性與有機性，一方面得以延續主要街道面的立面基調、一方面得以面向相對有機的舊城區採光面。
