最漂亮的「退台式」小高層辦公樓

設計 06-13

建築不僅只是一個容納各種活動的場所，它還包含了鄰里與建築本身之間的關係；同時也應與城市發展相銜接。

Text description provided by the architects. A building is not merely a place for fitting variable activities within, it also reveals the relationship between the neighborhood and the building itself. In the meantime, it shall be connected with urban development.

該項目是一幢9層高的辦公樓（地上7層），位於城市西南側，緊鄰中國台中高鐵站。該地區已被指定為新興的重建區，可通往城市內的任何地方。

The project is a 9-floor office building (7 floors above ground), and is located at the southwestern side of the city near Taichung High Speed Railway Station. The area has been designated as an emerging redevelopment zone which is accessible to any location within the city.

除了滿足建築的基本功能需求外，還嘗試實現一直認為對物理環境有價值的建築概念，例如日光通風，隔熱和遮陽。考慮到氣候和陽光的角度，在建築立面上使用橫向、縱向的遮陽板。也就是說，我們有不同的解決方案來處理來自不同方向的陽光。

In addition to satisfying basic functional requirements of a building, we try to fulfill architectural concepts that we always consider valuable in response to the physical environment, such as daylight access, ventilation, heat insulation and sun shading. For instance, we use vertical or horizontal sun shading variously on the building facade in consideration of climate and angle of sunlight. That is, we have different solutions dealing with sunlight that comes from different directions.

反映亞熱帶地區的物理環境，垂直和水平遮陽板成為形成該大樓立面的主要元素。不使用閃閃發光的瓷磚，陰影、陽光、垂直植被和普通材料之間的協同作用創造了建築的獨特特徵。

Reflecting warm subtropical climate in Taiwan, vertical and horizontal sun shading becomes the major element to form the facade of Richgreen Building. Without using sparkling tiles, the synergy between shadow, sunlight, vertical vegetation, and plain material creates unique features of the building.

在技術方面，我們會仔細考慮建築構造和材料的使用。雖主結構由鋼筋混凝土建造，同時也應用了很多其他可能的結構建材，如木構和鋼構。對於表面材料，我們沒有選擇昂貴的材料，而傾向於使用代表當地文化的建材，例如天然石材，木材，斬假石，以及抿石子等。

From technical perspective, we carefully consider about the building structure and the usage of building materials. Despite the fact that the building is mainly built of reinforced concrete, we adopt other structural types such as timber and steel structure in some areas. As for surface materials, instead of using costly materials, we tend to use natural materials and materials that represent local culture, for example, natural stone, timber, cut pebble surface, and close lightly pebble surface, etc.

在固定的容積下，我們通過在每層樓設置一個露台來豐富建築體量。這不僅增加了建築的高度，還增強了其可識別性。此外，我們廣泛使用天然景石和原生植物進行景觀美化，這是我們認為可與建築彼此協調，又能適應環境，因此應用於該建築的各部分。

In spite of the fixed floor area ratio given, we enrich the characteristics of Richgreen Building by locating a setback terrace on each floor. This increases not only the height of the building but also its recognizability. In addition, we widely use natural stones and native plants on landscaping since we believe they are correspondent with Richgreen Building and are able to adapt to the environment well.

該大樓沿道路側退近11米。因此，面向馬路有足夠的開放空間。它為行人在繁忙的市區提供了額外的休憩場所。

Richgreen Building has a 11-meter setback from the road. Thus, there is adequate open space in front of the building. It provides pedestrians with extra place to rest and chill in busy urban area.

至於室內空間，我們想通過五種人體感官來表達建築之美。因此使用了會散發出淡香氣味的寮檜與日本杉木。還配備了一個可以很好地直接從天窗吸收採光的植栽箱牆，可幫助調節室內溫度和濕度；當陽光灑入時，種植箱金屬表面的折射使牆更有光澤，更加豐富多彩。

As for indoor space, we want to express the beauty of architecture through five human senses. We extensively utilize Lao Cypress and Japanese Cedar that both disperse light scent. We also design a planter box wall that can well absorb sunlight directly from the skylight. The planter boxes can help adjust indoor temperature and humidity; while sunlight is pouring in through the windows, the reflection from the planter boxes』 metal surface makes the wall shiny and more colorful.

我們使用了傳統建築中的常見元素，如細線條，圓角和古典摘窗來設計具有台灣特色，地理和文化的建築。通過它的實踐，我們希望實現對本地建築價值應有的響應。

We use common elements in traditional architecture such as thin line, round corner, and removable window to design a building possesses Taiwanese features, geographically and culturally. Through the construction of Richgreen Building, we want to achieve the sense of local architectural value.
