The Anping Lane Inn resort echoes the ancient culture of Tainan and is built upon a sloping landscape that shapes the textures of urban open spaces. By continuing the urban scale into the public spaces of the resort, a sense of memory and history is generated. Tainan slowly developed into overlapping layers of historic developments filled with wonder and diversity of space.
The Anping Lane Inn planning concept is based on bifurcated ancient streets that extends the waterfront into a rich spatial texture with different degrees of intimacy. A complete leisure experience is established by treating the waterfront as part of a larger urban scheme and connects the resort with the history of Tainan, Anping Fort Zeelandia, Dutch and Japanese castle homes, pirate cemetery and fisherman harbor.
