The base is situated in Taipei’s most esteemed district, adjacent to the iconic Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and Taipei Railway Station. As part of an urban renewal initiative within the city’s high-density downtown area, the design conditions and regulations were intricate and challenging, especially regarding building height constraints. Given the owner’s desire to create two buildings within the tower, we developed a design strategy whereby the volume was split into front and rear blocks based on the height limit, resulting in an elegant and refined facade effect. Additionally, we incorporated continuous horizontal lines throughout the building facade to create a cohesive visual identity.
