Eternal Seaside House stands alone on a curve of Niujiao. Open any window and the sea will speak to you while the mountains keep you company. Sit and chat in the lobby, and the tides will quietly tell you the time.
In April and May, the humid rainy season brings raindrops dancing on the sea; rapeseed flowers sway, roosters crow, birds fly by, and even the waves join in, clapping against the shore.
By June and July, the blue tears appear—tiny blue sprites dancing along the coastline—while the purple orchids on the wall bloom as if joining the celebration. Eternal Seaside House lights up its four-sided lanterns at night, glowing softly against the pale white surf.

Eternal Seaside House is a classic coastal house, built with features such as “five ridges and four drainage slopes,” timber framework, stone masonry, and stone-weighted roof tiles.
It once served as a private refuge during the Cold War, built around 1955–1956 with military-assisted design and local craftsmen’s work. Beneath the floors lies an air-raid passage dug 1.5 Taiwanese zhang deep, capable of withstanding 6,000-pound bombardment. It also functioned as an escape route and offered chemical defense and deception abilities.
Despite the labour wage of only NT$80 per day (NT$40 for assistants), construction still cost tens of thousands, revealing the scale of the project.

Eternal Seaside House is also a warm family home that has been lived in for fifty years.
Architecture is a vessel for life—shaping emotions and guiding how people live within it.
In childhood memories, the house was always lively: uncles and cousins trimming bamboo, peeling catch, boiling shrimp, mending nets. The first floor stored fishing gear; the basement was filled with dried shrimp. Those vibrant scenes no longer remain, yet we believe that a house, both in form and spirit, carries its past into a new way of life.
