In Taipei, Taiwan, the mixing of residential and commercial use within the same apartment building is very popular. It brings advantages such as reducing commuting time, brings more vitality to the city, but also brings such disadvantages as a deterioration in the quality of the living environment.
In this paper, in order to make clear the mechanism for creating orderly mixed-use apartments, we analyze how architects and developers take steps to create typical mixed-use apartment projects in Taipei. The results are as follows: 1) profitable business opportunities in meeting the needs of self-employed persons result in the creation of small mixed-use units of dwelling/business and dwelling/commerce; 2) the commercial units are almost always vertically separated from dwelling units and business units; 3) by separating building function types into commerce/business/dwelling and commerce/dwelling or business/dwelling, one may anticipate type of building useand corresponding vertical separation in appropriate function zones and control accordingly; 4) communal management is necessary for small commercial units and small business units in condominium ownership.
