Changlong CDA - Guard Booth Installation Art
In a quiet corner of the city, some spaces may seem ordinary, yet hold the potential to be seen anew.
This guard booth, which has accompanied the neighborhood patrol for decades, carries the daily life and emotions of the community.
Today, we take sustainable materials as our brush to write a new chapter for it, allowing this booth not just to be renewed, but to be truly seen again.
Beyond mere “repairs,” this space is reborn to carry the stories of the neighborhood, its culture, and the environment.
Marine debris finds new life, weaving together Hakka colors, daily rhythms, and the spirit of the patrol team.
A once-abandoned guard booth is transformed into a public space where residents can pause, connect, and experience.
Here, sustainability bridges ocean and neighborhood, culture and circularity, life and the future.
This renovation merges metal and recycled marine panels, exploring how industrial materials can embrace ocean memories and local culture.
CNC-cut panels reflect Hakka motifs—tung blossoms, persimmons, and indigo patterns—while hand-painted colors bring warmth and cultural depth.
Old glass was replaced and the landscape refreshed, creating a cleaner, inviting space for residents.
The result is more than a renovation: a sustainable scene woven from marine waste, Hakka culture, and neighborhood heritage, rooted in the community and belonging to its people.
Building on the sustainable seeds of the Hakka Fangkou Lion, the guard booth traces a path “from the sea into the neighborhood,”
letting the power of circularity quietly spread through the alleys.
Using 56.7 kg of recycled marine waste, a new everyday landscape emerges—touchable, visible, and felt by residents.
It lives underfoot, in colors, and in materials given renewed meaning, silently accompanying every pause and passing rain.
Reborne continues to leave subtle yet steadfast traces in the city through recycled materials and design.
