A private residence designed by Taichung artist Wang Shui-ho (王水河) with bas-relief sculptures lining several walls of the interior. It was built for a Mr. Chen, owner of a Taiwanese paper company. Although the owners expressed an interest in preserving the building it was a “sea sand house” (海砂屋) built with low-quality concrete and in danger of collapse. It was demolished in 2020 and soon replaced by an apartment block.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
