Design
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]
