由BIG设计的台湾花莲健康住宅以为老年人建设环保住宅为目的，旨在设计出注重老年人健康的有效社区。社区的起伏的绿色山体屋顶，使自然更贴近生活空间，创造了一个轻松的环境。BIG的项目最近被评为2014 Architizer A+A奖项的赢家。
       社区位于台湾东部沿海，最近有相当数量的年轻人外出去更大的城市寻找更好的工作，因此该地区成为老年人和退休人员的专属地，住房需求和娱乐设施不断增长。建筑师在社区内引入快速通道，它蜿蜒地通过住宅，为室外空间注入了生机与活力。除了休闲区，社区还具有监测点、舞台、商店、餐馆和医疗保健服务。
       整个社区鼓励互动。公共快速通道可以作为会议地点与社会的接触点。一系列康乐设施如媒体室、休息室、图书馆、游泳池、公共花园和冥想空间体现了建立低压力环境的设计理念。

       BIG’s Hualien Wellness & Residential development in Taiwan is an eco-friendly home for the elderly that is designed to encourage a health-conscious and productive community of seniors. Its mountainous green roofs undulate and meander through the complex, bringing nature closer to the living spaces and helping to create a stress-free environment. BIG's project was recently honored as a winner in the 2014 Architizer A+A wards.
       The development is located on the eastern coast of Taiwan, which has recently seen a dramatic outflux of young people going to larger urban centers in search of better jobs. The area has since seen a growing demand for housing and recreational facilities for seniors and retirees.The architects at BIG decided to introduce speed walking public paths to the complex, which meander through it and infuse outdoor spaces with liveliness and activity. In addition to the recreational areas, the development features an observation point, performance stage, shops, restaurants and healthcare services.
       The entire neighborhood encourages interaction. Public paths can be used as meeting places and points of social contact. And an array of amenities such as media rooms, lounges, libraries, pools, common gardens and meditation spaces support the design concept to establish a low-stress environment.
