Green Oasis

Chain10 Architecture & Interior Design Institute

Short description

It's a public space in a high rise building, including reception and reading space.Leisure and entertainment include a fitness space and outdoor swimming pool, etc. surrounded by landscaped pools and planted natural green slopes.
The property is close to the Tainan landmark Yuguang Island, which is known for its ecological diversity. Migratory birds come to visit as the seasons' change. This combined with the environment create a very close-to-nature atmosphere. Bringing nature back to the city through architecture aids the sustainable development cause that every architect needs to live by.
The outer landscape pool surrounds the building, so when this air passes over the water, it naturally reduces the temperature of it when it hits the building. We used floor to ceiling glass which maintains the connection with the environment while reducing the impact of the abundant sunlight.
The public spaces use the difference modules to import light. The space has a different appearance of light and shadow over time with a light-permeable glass encompassing it. Viewed from the outside, pedestrians can appreciate the different elevations which create the feeling of community. The fusion of natural and artificial light allows people to use the space to interact with the green environment. Features inside and outside the building become connected due to the interplay of light, reflections and shadows.
The fusion of the indoor and outdoor spaces create the appearance of two buildings. Actually, one building exists because of the use of architectural systems to blend the inside and outside. Humans and nature should coexist harmoniously. All life is closely related, and human existence should be accompanied by the rapid expansion of environmental conservation policies. The reduced consumption of natural environment resources is critical, but we also need pay attention to organic life, soil, and water conservation and biodiversity.
