The House Beyond the Regular Residence A combination of industry, culture, and residence Sightseeing is a core in Penghu, hence developing cultural houses is an important role to cooperate the industry with the environment. Due to natives moving out and aging population, families seldom take their children back to Penghu besides during vacations and holidays. In addition to the increase of tourists and B&Bs (Bed-and-Breakfast), residences start looking for greater function and purpose. As a result, living in Penghu requires more combination of industry and culture in order to develop more localized B&Bs.
The Spirit of Penghu Houses with New Local Conditions The tourist industry in Penghu has converted the lifestyle from village to a more leisured type of industry. Due to the effects, flat roof space becomes leisure and important place for gazing stars and enjoying the landscape of Penghu, or even a relax space for families in summer evenings and a playground for kids. Platform not only effectively ventilates but also provides shade for this important space. The semi-outdoor hallway brings everyone together; it becomes a place where people talk about memories and connect with friends. Due to these platform spaces as interacting medium, life in Penghu is culturally extended and innovated.
