Brick Yard 33 ⅓, otherwise known as BY33 is a nostalgic space, and for good reason. Previously a club for American soldiers to gather, have a drink or two and rest their weary bones, the Brick Yard 33 ⅓ had seen better days.Tucked away amidst the vintage district of Yangmingshan, Taiwan, the monument previously known as the Grass Mountain Teen Club had fallen into ruins until HC Space Design came along and gave the magnificent building a much needed facelift.
During the days of the Cold War, US soldiers spent their free time at this place in an attempt to gather some respite from the scourges of war-by lounging around the game area to outdo each other in a game of darts of foosball, listening to records on the jukebox, reading or engaging in some quiet conversation. Today, Brick Yard 33 ⅓ is a public space where people can eat good ol’ Southern food, reminisce the past with some golden oldies’, and generally soak in the atmosphere.
Old-World Industrial
HC Design Space respects the history of the site, which is why they chose to restore the exterior to match its previous bricked facade. Materials from a bygone era such as timber beams, retro tiles and brick walls are utilized during reconstruction, thus lending authenticity and simplicity to the space.
