Tucked away near the bustling Dongmen MRT Station in Taipei, Eco Book Café is a small independent bookstore built on eco-conscious ideals. In this compact 33-square-meter space, the shopkeeper—known as “Owl”—has quietly made her nest for over a decade, putting sustainable practices into action through everyday operations.

From the start, the store’s interior was designed with sustainability in mind, applying passive energy-saving principles. Its calm, nature-inspired aesthetic reflects a commitment to green architecture, while the space also functions as a hub for community events. Thanks to the shopkeeper’s many efforts—hosting book clubs, book launches, and DIY workshops—Eco Book Café has become a space for dialogue and discovery. Visitors are invited to see the world through new lenses, while the bookstore itself continues to evolve, finding renewed meaning and vitality in its mission.

恬野書:貓頭鷹築巢搭起會呼吸的節能書店

位於台北市車水馬龍東門捷運站附近，有一間以環保理念起家的獨立書店:恬野書。書店的貓頭鷹店長在十坪大小的空間築巢，十年來在日常營運中落實綠色實踐。

開店時的空間設計，以環境友善理念來實踐被動式節能。在風格恬靜與自然共存的綠建築複合式空間裡，在店長多角化經營的努力下，透過辦讀書會、新書發表會以及手作課程等，提供給參與者更多對話空間，為客人打開了看待世界的多元視野，也為恬野書找到新的營運價值。
