Location

The building is located in Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone, which is central business district of Taichung and houses many tourist attractions, such as Huilai Monument Archaeology Park and National Taichung Theater.

Design

Due to height restriction in the area, the volume of the building gradually retreats to form a setback, which forms a terrace space. The building and the terrace overlap to the roof garden, forming a forest in the sky. The terrace space is surrounded by green trees with vertical glass grids, allowing this green forest glass box to be integrated with the exterior of the building, which presents a novel look in the exterior design.[4][5]
