OrigInn Space is located in the "Dadaocheng" area, the earliest center of Taipei's economic and cultural development, with a rich collection of historical buildings where old and new cultures coexist harmoniously, developing a lifestyle different from other areas of Taipei. The site was originally the residence of a high-ranking Qing Dynasty official and was built and once belonged by the Lin family of Banqiao, one of Taiwan's five major families. It was later registered as a municipal historic building by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Taipei City Government in 2008. The architecture, which features a Western-style brick construction, is beautifully decorated and holds significant value in the history of architecture.
In the imagination of OrigInn Space, people play a c significant role. To become a "home," it takes more than just a beautiful facade. Every traveler who comes to this place is treated like a friend. People become friends naturally without any intention. Gradually, they develop a sense of "coming home," allowing travelers from around the world to immerse themselves in the ambiance of a bygone era and feel the unique atmosphere of Dadaocheng in those days.
It was an imperial envoy’s house in Qing dynasty, and then reconstructed to a brick, westernized building in 1931 by the Banqiao Lin family. Now it is declared by Taipei City Government as Cultural Heritage, and the interior design was exquisite and of great value for architecture history.
It is a space open to the public. It is a café full of music. It is also an exhibition room for well-selected handicrafts. Together, all these artifacts shape a distinctive and elegant taste in here. We also hold activities for all kinds of topics here, make it a place for people to mingle and connect.
