The project is a 9-floor office building (7 floors above ground) and is located at the southwestern side of the city near Taichung High-Speed Railway Station. The area has been designated as an emerging redevelopment zone which is accessible to any location within the city.

In addition to satisfying basic functional requirements of a building, 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. For instance, we use vertical or horizontal sun shading variously on the building facade in consideration of climate and angle of sunlight. That is, we have different solutions dealing with sunlight that comes from different directions.
Reflecting a warm subtropical climate in Taiwan, vertical and horizontal sun shading becomes the major element to form the facade of Richgreen Building. Without using sparkling tiles, the synergy between shadow, sunlight, vertical vegetation, and plain material creates unique features of the building.

From a technical perspective, we carefully consider the building structure and the usage of building materials. Despite the fact that the bui...
