Stunning office building – Taiwan

This concept office building was a competition entry entered by Synthesis Design Architecture. The structure was inspired by the geometric patterns of the Taiwanese hen cages, while the overal shell took inspiration from luxury racing yachts.

The building strives to generate an efficient operational strategy using passive techniques that manipulate the natural environment for the benefit of the internal environment. The building is orientated into the prevailing wind direction which allows the air flow to be tuned around the flanks of the tower between the main structure and the façade.
