The Arcade Tower

Kaohsiung, Taiwan

2013-2014

“By stylizing a conventional technique to protect from sun, the Arcades capture views and create originality while providing shading and privacy. “ Located in Kaohsiung City next to the waterfront and an urban park, the design focuses on an internal connection with both natural spaces.

Inspired by the conventional arcade spaces found throughout the city, the ARCADES provide shading while allowing maximum view. Confronted with a massive zoning envelope, the building is re-proportioned with division of superblocks allowing the new iconic tower to be distinct within the existing waterfront skyline creating a sense of individuality and home.
