Sky Jade is an architectural development project located in Taichung City, Taiwan. Adopting a digital architectural design approach, Golden Jade evaluates various aspects of environmental living, challenging the traditional framework of designing buildings solely through 2D models. By utilizing digital parametric technology, it creates a three-dimensional spatial design model and simulates various data such as environmental conditions, climate, energy efficiency, natural lighting, and structural mechanics. The aim is to achieve a rational composition of space, materials, and structure. In order to realize a low-carbon aesthetic architecture that harmonizes with the natural environment, the project integrates technology into daily life. It transforms user needs such as intelligence, epidemic prevention, and energy sustainability into tangible values for living.



This project involves a 24-story residential building, with residential units located on the 2nd floor and above, and public amenities on B2, 1F, MF, R1F, and R2F. The site is situated at the corner of Taiwan Boulevard and Yumen Road, overlooking the expansive 400,000-square-meter forested area of Tunghai University. Taiwan Boulevard, with a total length of 24.2 kilometers, serves as a key transportation artery in Taichung City, connecting Taichung Railway Station to the Taichung Port area. It forms a vibrant living zone that converges technology, commerce, and healthcare.



Sky Jade features a 360-degree curtain glass design complemented by a 7-degree glass inclination. The use of light refraction angles presents a faceted appearance reminiscent of gemstone cuts, allowing each facade to showcase a unique architectural expression. The Interior layout design incorporates four-sided natural lighting, promoting energy efficiency. It also provides the opportunity to appreciate the rich interplay of light and shadow introduced indoors at different times of the day.



The site offers more than 600 square meters of public space, shared with the community. Positioned at the corner of Taiwan Boulevard and Yumen Road intersection, it establishes a miniature art park. Livable aesthetics are embodied in the friendly foundation of "neighborhood mutual love.

Given its location in the old town area, active interaction with existing residents is crucial to creating sustainable value for the architecture.
