Live by Choice. Live the life the way you choose Start with the living space. Bring the fun of the city to your life through lifestyle projects.
Alife believes the home should be the city. Launched in July, 2021 and introducing two locations - Alife FL on FuLin Road in Shilin and Alife WCH in the Taipei Train Station district, Alife started with residential spaces and expanded to rental residences, office and commercial spaces. It also offers interesting lifestyle projects geared to the needs of contemporary urban living. These projects cross over with other industries, events, product developments so consumers or members of Alife can expand their lives to the entire city. They can also bring in the interesting stories of the city to their homes.
That is why, in 2021, in addition to management of living spaces, Alife introduced many member-exclusive lifestyle projects. Diverse in styles and industries, these projects include “Maybe Impossible Re-Use Objects Market Place” for second-hand goodies, pop-up store with premium media platform “500 Times” , and limited time camping themed popup store in collaboration with GQ Taiwan.
With the momentum, Alife collaborates with 4 major plants/floral design brands, 39 life style collectors, and ZIMA to present “A Date Together” store at Alife FL, inviting visitors to browse through these greeneries, make friends, shop for re-use objects. The socializing project invites you to discover new possibilities in life:
Shop for plants and make friends too
“A Date Together Store” is a store for socializing with plants. Select from plants from 4 leading brands: Bosk Society, Sensual Flower Point, Slow Manner, and plants shopaholic Mickey Chen (also store manager at Chang Chi Hot Pots), including rainforest plants, herbs, pines and cedars, orchids … and more. All right here at the store.
As you search for a plant that catches your eye, you will find that on every plant, there is a tag with contact number of a stranger. It’s a unique way to meet a new special person. During the event, there is a workshop every weekend by Bosk Society: Learn to make a Christmas wreath, decorating Christmas, etc. Green Remedies introduces its unique floral fortune telling experience that allows you to explore your emotions and wellbeing through touching and feeling of flowers.

An unexpected way to make friends: Special Project “A to Z”
Special Project “A to Z” is a collaboration with ZIMA that offers online and offline socializing experience. All ZIMA users can visit “A Date Together” event in person and check in on ZIMA APP. They will receive a virtual plant for their ZIMA 3D Avatar. New users who download ZIMA APP at the store can receive a real potted plant.
ZIMA is a social platform designed to find friends with the same tastes and frequencies. Interact with people from different cities, social circles, and age groups at different time slots. ZIMA helps you find people who are similar to you.
ZIMA APP offers the limit-time-only Alife 3D Avatar NPC that looks like a transparent house-shape container with many elements of life. The idea reflects how the living space is like a containing structure for all kinds of experiences. Alife NPC also responds to many questions raised by ZIMA users.
Alife Special Project｜【Maybe More than Second-Hand Store】
Alife believes in possibilities in people and life. That goes for objects too. So Alife starts with the idea of maybe for the project “Maybe more than second-hand store” market place. The event pioneered in August this year. A lineup of collectors, fashion editors, life style store operators and shopaholics participated at the event. Back by popular demand, the event will be held along with the “A Date Together Store” project too.

Our lineup of stall owners include: Bito Studio founder Keng-Ming Liu, Studio, YouTuber Meg, EYECANDLE cofounders Kevin and Yuan Cheng, fashion brand plain-me cofounders Akko and Tim, LOUU brand founder Slow Chen, JUKSY fashion editor Nanci Chen, photographer Mr. Triangle and more. Their selections are just too great to miss.

Through this project, all the objects find new value, new identitiesm new visions, whatever their conditions. We will do so too.【Maybe More than Second-Hand Store】is more than a platform for the exchange.
