We propose the “Constructed Timber Realm” strategy, utilizing FSC-certified timber as the primary architectural and landscape language. This transcends mere material selection, transforming the space into a massive carbon sink. Spatially, we deconstruct traditional refinement processes to create multi-layered experiential zones, including a memory plaza, an aromatherapy foot spa, and craft workshops. Furthermore, by strictly selecting native Taiwanese aromatic plants and pairing them with both active diffusers and passive natural scents, we weave a multi-sensory healing trail. This allows the built environment and the native ecology to breathe together as a living organism.
