PLACE :Taiwan
AREA :3160.99M2

FLOORS :9 floors
CONCEPT:A building is not merely a place
for fitting variable activities within, it should
have relationship between the neighborhood
and the building itself,and should be easily
connected to the urban development

The project is a 9-floor office building (7 floors

above ground), placed at an emerging redevelop-
ment zone which is accessible to any location within
the city,thus trying to connect with the urban devel-
opment.

It has a11-meter setback from the road,providing

pedestrians with extra place to rest and chill in busy
urban area.

Use of common elements in traditional architec-

ture such as thin line, round corner, and removable
window to design has possesses Taiwanese features,
geographically and culturally. Thus local architec-
tural value is achieved in this building

In addition to satisfying basic functional re-

quirements, we try to fulfill architectural
concepts that we always consider valuable in
response to the physical environment, such
as daylight access, ventilation, heat insulation
and sun shading. the extensive use of vertical
or horizontal shading devices on the building
facade is in consideration to the climate and
angle of sunlight.

 Reflecting warm subtropical climate in
Taiwan, vertical and horizontal sun shad-
ing becomes the major element to form
the facade of Richgreen Building.

Without using sparkling tiles, the synergy

between shadow, sunlight, vertical vege-
tation, and plain material creates unique
features of the building.

In spite of the fixed floor area ratio given,

we enrich the characteristics of Richgreen
Building by locating a setback terrace on
each floor.

MATERIAL USAGE:

Despite the fact that the building is mainly built of rein-

forced concrete, we adopt other structural types such as
timber and steel structure in some areas.

for surface materials, natural materials and materials that

represent local culture, for example, natural stone, timber,
cut pebble surface, and close lightly pebble surface, etc are
used.

Used natural stones and native plants on landscaping so

that it adapt to the environment well.

In indoor space, beauty of architecture is expressed through five

human senses.

utilized Lao Cypress & Japanese Cedar for planter box ,both
disperse light scent and can absorb sunlight directly from the
skylight and help adjust indoor temperature and humidity.

while sunlight fall through window the reflection from the plant-
er boxes’ metal surface makes the wall shiny and more colorful.
