當一棟老公寓，開始認真對待你的健康

WELL 認證，不只是一張證書

WELL 建築標準（WELL Building Standard）由國際 WELL 建築研究院（IWBI）制定，最初針對辦公與商業空間設計，評估指標涵蓋空氣、水質、光照、聲學、熱舒適、心理健康等十大面向。

倫敦彭博歐洲總部、台北 101，這些地標建築取得的是 WELL 白金認證——過去，WELL 幾乎是大型新建案的專屬標章。

但世界正在改變。IWBI 推出了 WELL for Residential（WFR），將健康建築的標準延伸至住宅領域。富喬物業決定接受這個挑戰，而且是以一棟既有老屋來挑戰——這，在台灣還沒有人做過。

老屋翻新，從來都不是容易的事

新建案可以從零開始規劃管線、結構與設備；老屋不行。它帶著歲月留下的限制，帶著你得一一克服的問題。

施工之前，富喬物業特別召集所有工班進行說明會，逐一解釋 WELL 標準的要求與施工邏輯——因為這套標準，和台灣既有的設計與施工觀念有著根本性的不同。即便如此，仍有工班在施工途中因無法適應全新的作業方式而選擇退出。每一個退出，都是一次重新找人、重新溝通、重新出發的考驗。但也正是這些困難，讓最終完成的成果更具份量。

為了符合 WELL 標準，富喬易境在空氣品質管理、採光設計、溫熱舒適與整體居住健康上，進行了全面性的升級改造。這不是一次普通的裝潢，而是一次以人的健康為核心的系統性重建。

富喬物業董事長陳宏昌說：

「我們常常談論個人健康，卻很少去想，我們住的地方，健不健康？這個計畫，是我們對下一代居住環境的一種承諾。」

台灣的雙重老化，需要不同的解答

台北市有將近七成四的住宅屋齡超過 30 年。與此同時，台灣正快速步入高齡社會。

這個「雙重老化」的現實，不是用拆遷重建就能解決的——規模太大、速度太慢、成本太高。

富喬易境提出的，是另一種可能：透過精準翻新，讓既有建築重新達到國際健康標準，延長建物壽命，也讓居住者真正住得好。

聯合創辦人楊惠茹說：

「台灣過去的 ESG 討論，幾乎都聚焦在新建案。但其實，讓舊建築也能符合全球健康標準，才是更大的突破。」

這不只是一間出租套房

富喬易境的意義，不僅是一個認證項目，而是一個方向的宣示：住宅，可以是主動照顧你的空間。

我們相信，健康不應該是豪宅的特權。無論你是租屋族、投資置產者，或是關心台灣城市未來的每一個人，這個故事都與你有關。

富喬物業將持續深耕健康建築，讓更多台灣的居住空間，從「夠住」走向「真正對人好」。

When an Old Apartment Starts Taking Your Health Seriously

Have you ever stopped to think about what greets you when you open your front door each day?

Not your neighbors — but the air you breathe, the water you drink, the quality of light that fills the room, the temperature that wraps around you. The things you rarely notice, yet shape your well-being every single moment you're home.

At No. 15, Tianyu Street in Taipei, a building that has stood for over 30 years underwent something different in 2025 — not demolition, not a superficial facelift, but a fundamental rethinking: What does a person truly need from the place they call home?

That question became the foundation of everything JoeRich set out to build.

More Than a Certificate on the Wall

The WELL Building Standard, developed by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), evaluates the built environment across ten dimensions of human health: air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community.

Until recently, WELL certification was largely associated with landmark commercial developments — from Bloomberg's European headquarters in London to Taipei 101. It was, in many ways, a standard designed for spaces of scale and ambition.



IWBI's introduction of WELL for Residential (WFR) changed that, extending the framework to the spaces where people live. JoeRich took on the challenge — not with a newly built property, but with an existing apartment building. In Taiwan, no one had done it before.

Renovation Is Harder — and That's Exactly the Point

New developments have the luxury of starting from scratch. Renovation doesn't.

Before construction began, JoeRich convened all contractors for a dedicated briefing, walking each team through the requirements and rationale of the WELL standard — a framework that departs significantly from conventional design and construction practices in Taiwan. Even so, some contractors withdrew mid-project, unable to adapt to methods that fell outside their experience. Each departure meant restarting the search, rebuilding trust with a new team, and pressing forward. But those difficulties are precisely what make the outcome meaningful.

To meet WELL standards, the project required comprehensive upgrades across indoor air quality, lighting design, thermal performance, and overall occupant well-being. This was not a cosmetic renovation — it was a full reimagining of what the space could offer its residents, guided at every step by evidence-based health standards.

Chairman Chen Hung-Chang reflected on what drove the decision:

"We talk a great deal about personal health. But we rarely ask whether the place we live in is healthy. This project is our answer to that question — and our commitment to future generations."

A Different Solution to a Familiar Problem

Nearly 74% of residential units in Taipei are over 30 years old. Taiwan is simultaneously facing a rapidly aging population — a "dual aging" reality that cannot be addressed through new construction alone. Urban redevelopment is slow, expensive, and difficult to scale.

Joe Rich & Greenjump I proposes a different path: strategic renovation as a vehicle for genuine health upgrades, extending the lifespan of existing buildings while bringing them into alignment with international living standards.

Co-founder Yang Hui-Ju articulated the broader significance:

"ESG conversations in Taiwan have largely centered on new developments. This project demonstrates that existing buildings — with the right approach — can meet the same global standards."

More Than a Certified Apartment

Joe Rich & Greenjump I is more than a certification milestone. It is a statement about what rental housing can and should be: a space that actively supports the people living in it.

At JoeRich, we believe that healthy living should not be a privilege reserved for luxury developments. Whether you are a renter, a property investor, or someone who cares about the future of Taiwan's cities, this story is about what becomes possible when we hold housing to a higher standard.

We remain committed to that standard — and to shaping a future where more homes across Taiwan are not just livable, but genuinely good for the people inside them.
