Project Overview
The designer continuously explores the layout of the space, focusing on the interaction between five attributes: light, space, structure, transparency, and texture. These attributes are very similar to the principle proposed by Louis Kahn. Also, the work itself must take root in classical architectures and express through certain means such as the organization of axes or compositions.

Project Brief
The main concept of “Beyond 100 Years” is the pursue of beauty. Beauty includes the beauty of nature, of traditional arts, of culture, and people learn the beauty through five senses. The designer adds in the sixth element, individual, to show the beauty of spirits in traditional Japanese garden. As for the site selection, Asia New Bay Area centers the power of culture, which adds in the power of value to create extraordinary quality.
Project Innovation/Need
By adding value and characterizing the space, such as the imprint on the corner of the building and the stones that symbolizes luxury, the designer infuses honor and glory into the space. The sidewalk, which is the bridge between inside and outside, is in harmony with the luxurious vibe. The entrance is the purifying area, with water curtain falls down, visitors can purify their mind and find inner peace before walking in. The reception, which is a high-quality space, holds an important position to welcome visitors and lead them inside.
Design Challenge
The designer committed to refine modern architecture language and rethink the form of art. Beyond 100 years is the reification of this concept, constructing a clear and crucial position, in which the designer must observe and inspect the local culture and climate to capture the essence of this land.
Sustainability
The building uses assembling reinforcement technology to add another function to the building, become a landmark building and increase the urban lighting space, increase the activity around the building at night, increase the safety of urban residents, and reduce the need for public lighting. The designer is committed to adding the elements of humanistic care, hoping that people can use the five senses to realize the beauty of nature and the spirit of beauty, and integrate into the individual and daily life.
