一隻活生生的怪獸

Another Day · Koh Tsit Kang is located on the busiest street in Nanfang’ao, between two Mazu temples. Formerly known as The New Days, and before that Ri-Xin Hotel, the space has passed through different eras and owners. Each has left its own character, witnessing the constant rhythm of fishing boats coming and going. What has never changed is the air, always filled with the scent of the sea.
I stayed here for nearly a month during the design process. After going through many dead ends, I eventually chose this unidentified creature as the logo—it was the most instinctive image in my earliest sketches.
Situated on Taiwan’s eastern edge, almost feeling like the end of the world, and guided by a new owner deeply involved in local revitalization, life here gave rise to a strong sense of independence. That is why I chose it: a three-legged little monster of Nanfang’ao, echoing the shape of the harbor and embodying the mix of people, nature, and fresh ocean flavors found here.
「又一天 Koh Tsit Kang」旅店就坐落南方澳港兩座媽祖廟之間，在最熱鬧的馬路上。前身叫做“The New Days”，最早則是「日新大飯店」。不同的時空有不同的使命，都為這個空間帶來新的氣息，不變的，是這裡總是船來漁往，空氣瀰漫滿滿的海味吧！
雖然熱鬧，又好像遺世在天涯海角；以及旅店的新主人多年在蘇澳耕耘地方創生的工作者們；在這裡住下將近一個月裡，這些都為我帶來「獨立」的心情。所以最後Logo就決定是牠了！三隻腳的南方澳小怪獸，對應著南方澳港口的如觸角的形狀，各式各樣的人、和新鮮的味道！
