Taipower opens electronic music cafe in former police dormitory

Taipower opens electronic music cafe in former police dormitory

2022-08-08

Taipower has found a surprise use for one of its many old buildings. A former special police dorm in Taipei is now an electronic music cafe. The building has retained its 60s charm while gaining a very modern update. Fans of electro can enjoy live DJ sets while sipping their afternoon tea.

This blue-themed room has a neon aesthetic. The neon lights in front of the toilet change color according to the angle they’re pointed at.

This old Taipower building on Taipei’s Chaozhou Road was built to be a police dormitory in 1963. Pushing open the railings of the basement, you can see the old firearms room. After standing disused for 20 years, the building has been thoroughly renovated. These blue lightning emblems, symbolizing Taipower, can be seen on every windowsill. Completing the theme is the giant Taipower manhole cover hanging at the entrance.

Taipower Land Development Dept.
We’ve preserved a lot of the original elements in this old Taipower building, including the floor tiles and the handrails. We hope visitors can enjoy the electronic music, have a sweet treat and experience a different kind of afternoon tea.

These dorayaki have the lightning emblem on the pancake, red adzuki bean paste inside, and two scoops of matcha ice cream on top. The milk tea is in a glass with a lightning pattern on a manhole coaster. The whole atmosphere is irresistible to young people.

This place feels like an old building that’s been revamped, but it doesn’t feel too old. Kind of modern and comfortable.

The pancakes with the adzuki bean and the matcha ice cream – I haven’t eaten anything like this before. The pancakes are very soft, they taste great.

Taipower’s creative team has really outdone itself. To turn an old police dormitory into a trendy cafe is a new venture for the electricity giant.

台電老屋變潮流電音快閃店 午茶點心飄台電風

2022-08-08

為了讓資產發揮出更大的價值,台電文創團隊發揮巧思,將位在台北市潮州街一棟50年歷史的保警宿舍,改造成潮流的電音快閃店,並搭配台電符號的午茶點心,讓民眾沉浸在充滿台電元素的環境中。

藍色為主軸的房間,有著漸層霓虹的光感,顯得潮流感十足,而廁所前的這盞霓虹燈,還會隨著角度的變化,呈現不同的顏色。

這棟矗立在台北市潮州街的台電老屋,建於1963年當時是個保警宿舍,推開地下室的柵欄,還可以看到保留下來的槍械室,閒置20年後,徹底進行大改造,窗台上隨處可見,象徵台電藍色制服的藍色閃電標示,而入口處也掛上,放大版的台電人孔蓋,凸顯台電風格。

“台電的老房子裡面,其實保有很多原有的一些素材,包括地磚或是扶把,希望大家可以聽著電子樂,然後吃著甜點,感受一下不一樣的下午茶體驗”
有著閃電圖案的銅鑼燒餅皮,放上紅豆內餡,再加上兩球抹茶冰淇淋,另外再將奶蓋紅茶,倒入一樣有閃電圖案的玻璃杯中,放在台電人孔蓋造型的杯墊上,下午茶時間一到,立刻吸引不少年輕人上門。

“這邊就是有總老屋翻新,但是又不會覺得很舊的感覺,然後有一點現代,然後又很舒適”

“鬆餅配紅豆餡,然後抹茶冰淇淋,覺得沒有吃過這樣的,鬆餅滿軟的,口感滿不錯的”

台電文創團隊發揮巧思,把老舊保警宿舍,變身時髦快閃店,也讓台電資產發揮出更大的價值。
