Re-imagine how we might live tomorrow
共同生活空間（co-living space）透過租賃及社群服務，所回應的是傳統房地產的買賣邏輯，與高度都市化所帶來的人際疏離。透過重構居住空間，我們將私人空間減少、增加公共空間，並透過會員制的社群經營，重視人與人之間的關係更勝於空間硬體。回顧過去不到百年的時間，人們的居住模式從村落、街屋，到公寓大樓，面對快速變動的社會，我們早就該提出新的居住方案，共同居住正是我們所看到的未來。而萬華玖樓作為玖樓第一間整棟型物業，是全台灣第一個且最具代表的共同生活空間，結合了居住、共同廚房、交誼、展演、咖啡酒吧等，並且不只提供住戶使用，同時也向非住戶、附近社區開放。
這非浪漫的生活風格，而是務實面對未來的前瞻計畫。

As more people move to urban in search of better lives, our cities will grow like never before. This is a huge challenge, however, most of the housing debates are narrowly focused on building more homes. As important as that is, we also need to think hard about potential ways of living so we can re-imagine how we might live tomorrow.
Through the rental and community services, we’re dealing with the problems caused by traditional real estate markets and the increasing urbanization. By re-structuring the living spaces, we minimize the private space and optimize the shared space, care about relationships and experiences from the users more than physical environment. It is not just about the design or the physical architecture. There has to be a social design, we have to get people connected, to build up a sense of community, otherwise the common facilities will never be used, people will always stay in their won room.
WanHua 9floor as 9floor’s first independent building, which is also the first co-living space that has never had in Taiwan. It comes with private suites, and several common areas include kitchens, lounge, cafe, and a small exhibition space. The common areas are not only accessible to the residents but also non-residents and the local neighbors.
We believe that co-living isn’t just a trendy throwback to a utopian idea. In fact, it may well be the answer to some of our biggest contemporary challenges.
