| A Fading Golden Age / An Era Rich in Local Life and Cultural Significance |#
There's currently a resurgence of interest in old houses. Young generations are returning to their ancestral homes or hometowns, seeking suitable old properties to take over and operate. They infuse these spaces with contemporary lifestyles, offering coffee, tea, light meals, and sweets, while preserving the original character of the houses. The stories continue within these spaces, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in their narratives.

Why this trend? Because we realize that Taiwan's old houses embody past appearances and ways of life—they are the roots and background of our culture. We often admire the beauty and character of old houses abroad, yet fail to cherish the distinctiveness of Taiwan's own. It is truly a regrettable decision to see old houses destroyed by land development.

To awaken a greater appreciation for old houses, we've launched the "Taiwanese Window Grille" desk calendar, which allows everyone to learn more about their stories.
❃ The mountain-shaped wrought iron window grilles from old houses are integrated into the calendar's pages, symbolizing happiness, nature, and harmony. ❃
