ERC Autumn Village is a reception centre in Taipei, Taiwan. The building combines a bookstore, a cafe and a sales reception area within one space of 926 square metres. A skylight courtyard with a waxberry tree stands at the centre, surrounded by interlacing platforms of different floor heights. The steel structure has wooden floor slabs and an external brick wall fixed with H beams and metal parts. Seats, lighting and cabinets are custom made from recycled wood pallets. Flexible layouts allow exhibitions, lectures and forums to be held.
