Kaohsiung Office Building (Old Library)

Design Concept

At the heart of this project is the "Eco Core", a healthy and shared workspace that rethinks spatial efficiency and interaction in the modern office. By consolidating and redistributing space originally scattered across individual units, the design releases area to the public realm, significantly elevating the ratio and quality of communal spaces. This enhances overall spatial flexibility and utility. Integrated with a shared management mechanism, the design establishes an adaptable, healthy, and interactive workplace ecosystem, redefining individual-collective dynamics to achieve a spatial strategy maximizing both efficiency and human experience. Originating from the "Eco Core", the architecture and the environment transcend opposition to form a sustainable symbiotic relationship. Through the integration of natural conditions—wind, light, water, and greenery—environmental resources become intrinsic to the space, creating a resilient and adaptive design. This ultimately develops a health-centric, ecologically shared environment that responds to post-pandemic demands for mind-body and environmental reconnection within a fluid, evolving space.
