In a small alley situated in Taipei’s Daan District lies a place called “Gufeng Little White House (古風小白屋)”. The small workshop promotes the concept of recycling and the proper use of materials, creating interesting new items from unwanted houshold bric-a-brac. Combining the physical labor of neighbors to put the idea of recycling into practice, Gufeng Little White House is creating a whole new paradigm in urban aesthetics.
Active participant at Gufeng, Tang Yuan-he (唐園荷) said that the chief of village leased the previously idle building from the army, which with its open space is perfect for neighborhood gatherings, organizing courses and planning activities.
Gufeng Little White House not only provides a space where nearby residents can recycle household items to improve their homes, it also regularly organizes activities to promote green living, tool sharing, community building and other related activities. For example, it recently created a tool rack where all kinds of simple maintenance tools have been integrated into a rack on the interior walls, giving residents easy access. Residents are invited to come and make good use of the tools, giving damaged items from home a new lease of life. At the same time, residents can share their own tools on the communal tool wall, which apart from benefitting oneself through easy storage, also benefits others. Gufeng Little White House has not only become an important hangout for residents to chat and exchange information, it is also playing an important role in sustainably managing the earth’s resources.

共有共享 古風里的小小工具室
在台北市大安區的一條小巷裡，有著一個叫做「古風小白屋」的地方，那裏的人以回收再利用的理念，妥善運用媒材，廢物再利用，創造更多的價值。同時結合街坊鄰居的簡易勞動，重現再利用的生活實踐，創造出全新的都市生活美學。
小白屋團隊成員唐園荷表示，古風里小白屋是里長向軍方借用的社區閒置地，場地開闊足夠讓鄰里聚集，計畫舉辦課程或活動活化利用。這裡不僅提供了附近居民讓自己家中的物品價值再造，更不定期舉辦推廣綠生活、工具分享、社區營造等相關活動，例如近期打造工具牆，將各式簡易的維修器材整合在小白屋牆上，提供居民前來使用。讓家中受到毀損的物品也能賦予全新的生命。而同時居民也能向工具牆分享自己的工具，在受惠之餘，也能幫助到他人，讓小白屋不僅成為當地居民情感交流的中繼站之外，更能為地球的永續經營付出一份心力。
