Hi Look Graphic Design Studio Introduction
Walking into Zhongzheng Road in the town of KuanHsi, you are greeted by two rows of traditional old street houses. Standing in the arcade and looking towards the archway, it resembles a time tunnel, with every brick and tile bearing the marks of time. Zhongzheng Road, also known as Shidianzi, features the Hi Look graphic design studio run by Chiu Mei-feng, who mentions that there was once a ferry landing in KuanHsi, a place where merchants transported goods and daily necessities. The Shidianzi old street was once a bustling hub, home to fabric stores, stone masonry, and blacksmith shops, but as industries evolved, local residents gradually left, and the vibrant scene faded away. Chiu Mei-feng’s Hi Look graphic design studio brings a creative lifestyle approach into the space, which harmoniously blends old and new elements. She introduces novelty through layered display racks and a nostalgic style reminiscent of old houses. Originally, Hi Look was an old video rental store, and remnants of the past can still be found, such as old cabinets in the attic and traces of newspapers from the 30th year of the Republic of China on the walls, creating an interesting contrast with the illustrated works and locally themed maps designed by the current owner. Currently, this space primarily serves as the owner's studio, with plans to create cultural and creative products in the future. The public is also welcome to visit the old house, pick up a creative publication and map about KuanHsi, and gain a better understanding of this charming little town.
