We are pleased to announce that the Our Lady of the Assumption Monastery at Kaohsiung Dominican International School has been officially completed. Designed by architect Lin Bo-Yu, this project seeks to create a serene and humble spiritual retreat nestled within the campus.

The design draws inspiration from the traditional European monastery 'claustro' structure and reinterprets it with a contemporary minimalist arch vocabulary, crafting a space that mediates between the rational and the emotional. The building's exterior features specially selected Japanese INAX art tiles that, through conical segmentation, present a rich play of shadows under varying light. This structure serves not only as a dwelling for the nuns but also as a tranquil container for the mind and body, meticulously crafted to perfection with attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The project was recently featured in a dedicated article in La Vie magazine, exploring how architecture bestows a renewed spiritual home upon the convent.
