OO House

OO

OO is a residential interior design created through the renovation of a house that was forty years old. The three storey home covers 195 square meters and stands in a narrow alley in Kaohsiung. The facade carries openings arranged in a code like pattern and filled with glass bricks, so daylight enters while the interior stays secure. Materials include Japanese cypress, solid wood and formaldehyde free bamboo carbon paint. The staircase divides the space, and its landing is made of magnetic glass that also serves as a drawing surface.

OO House by Jianhe Wu has been highlighted as a grand illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. OO House won the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade which rewards exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
