Taiwanese qilou can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, when they were developed to support commercial street districts. During the Japanese colonial period, the government institutionalized this architectural form and preserved its public pedestrian function, shaping the distinctive streetscape seen in Taiwan today. Qilou are not just part of buildings—they are part of the street itself. They provide shade from the sun and shelter from the rain, while also serving as important spaces for walking, chatting, and everyday shopping, carrying a strong sense of daily life. In recent years, the term “Taiwanese sensibility” has gained popularity in other countries, especially in South Korea, to describe the aesthetic atmosphere found in Taiwanese daily life— a blend of nostalgia, warmth, sincerity, and everyday realism. This sensibility is often seen in old streets, narrow alleys, scooters, colorful signboards, steaming night markets, and qilou walkways. From an outsider’s perspective, these ordinary scenes are reinterpreted with a unique sense of storytelling and emotional connection, and have become widely admired through Korean dramas and photography by Korean artists. This retro café build is created with this Taiwanese sensibility as its core inspiration.
