花莲是台湾东海岸中部的一座城市。项目的地点位于海岸边,靠近两河三角洲的地带,向西看以看到连绵的山脊,向东可以看到海岸,向北则是花莲市区。

Hualien is a rapidly developing city located in the middle portion of Taiwan’s East coast. TLDC, a prominent land developer based in Taipei, has recently obtained license to turn what used to be an industrial and factory region into a world class beach resort. The site is located prominently along the coast and near the intersection of two river deltas. Taiwan’s spine of mountains can be seen to the west while the coast is to the east; Hualien city is to the north.

总体规划中,以绿色景观带为意向,与自然背景相呼应,BIG设计了一座集商用与公寓为一体的山形景观建筑:条形体量从东向西延伸,造型优美,同时也为台湾湿热的气候提供理想的遮阴系统——早上和傍晚,能有效阻止太阳角度过低造成的炫光,同时南北向的光能够进入各个建筑单元。绿色屋顶系统能进一步减少建筑对热量的获取,与条形的体量相结合,创造一个低能耗的建筑项目。

For the masterplan, a language of green landscape stripes is used to create a mountain landscape of commercial and residential program that reflect their natural counterparts in the background. The stripes run east-west to frame the best views while also becoming an optimal shading system for Taiwan’s hot and humid tropical climate. High glare, low angle morning and evening sun is effortlessly blocked by the stripes while favorable north-south light is allowed into the units. Green roofs further mitigate heat gain and combined with the striping create a low energy masterplan.
