Design

[edit]

Designed by the Singapore and WOHA architectural team, under the requirements of preventing earthquakes and typhoons common in Taiwan, the symmetrical structural frame was adopted to promote a multi-scale Chinese-style folding screen, presented with a super-large structural frame and metal filigree.[2] Each household in the building has an open balcony with a ceiling height of more than seven meters. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool located on the 2nd floor.[3][4]
