Horizon Below 75cm
Horizon Below 75cm is a public daycare center designed for infant care in a rural township in Yilan County. Early childhood covers three stages: newborn, infant and toddler, and each stage brings different sensory development. The height of the facade openings is calibrated between 45 and 75 centimeters, so the outside world can be seen from a child's own eye level. The building covers a floor area of 862.03 square meters. Modern architecture is combined with local materials suited to the local climate, which simplifies construction and keeps maintenance low.
