Hi Look Design Studio Introduction
Walking into Zhongzheng Road in Guanxi Township, you are greeted by two rows of traditional old street houses. Standing on the arcade and looking towards the curved archway feels like stepping into a time tunnel, where every brick and tile bears the marks left by time. Zhongzheng Road, also known as Shidianzi, is home to a ferry terminal that once served as a place for merchants to transport goods and everyday supplies. The old Shidianzi street was a bustling hub in the past, housing shops such as cloth stores, stonemasons, and blacksmiths. However, with changes in industry, local residents began to leave, and the scene of prosperity gradually faded away. Local youth Chiu Mei-feng established the Hi Look graphic design studio, infusing everyday creativity into the workspace. This space harmoniously blends the old and the new, with layers of display racks and nostalgic old house styles sparking new ideas. Originally, Hi Look graphic design studio was an old video rental store; remnants of old cabinets still remain in the attic, and the studio walls showcase traces of newspapers from the 1940s, creating an interesting contrast with the contemporary illustrations and local maps designed by the current owner. Currently, this space primarily serves as the owner's studio, and there are plans to design cultural and creative products. Visitors are also welcome to explore the old house, take a copy of a creative publication and map belonging to Guanxi, and gain a deeper understanding of this charming little town.
