这座标志性建筑复制了竹笋的独特轮廓。竹笋是台中常见的一种植物，象征着中国文化的繁荣。这一设计被认为是为了丰富城市的天际线，同时也是庆祝文化的象征。

The iconic building replicates the unique silhouette of a bamboo shoot – a plant commonly found in Taichung which symbolises prosperity in Chinese culture. This design is deemed to enrich the city skyline while celebrating a cultural symbol.

多面法饰带着具有独特的雨盖和窗墙的水平遮阳篷，以强调建筑的独特形状和曲线。椭圆的形状允许最大的光穿透到办公室区域。垂直绿化与东部和西部的当地植物资源，以及屋顶提高了能源效率。在北面和东侧的每一层也有阳台，以提供室外体验，景色优美。

The faceted façade undulates with horizontal awnings with distinctive rain covers and window-walls to emphasise the unique shape and curves of the building. The elliptical shape allows maximum light penetration to the office area. Vertical greening with local plant resources on the east and west façades as well as the rooftop enhances energy efficiency. There are also balconies on each floor on the north and east sides to offer an outdoor experience with a pleasant view.

内部空间是参照传统的墨画设计的--通过使用灰色的不同色调和色调，以及灯光和反射，表达不同的感觉和创造一种中立和平静的感觉。两个带有银行和食品和饮料出口的裙楼层在较低的水平上激活城市生活。

The interior space is designed with reference to traditional ink paintings – by using different shades and tones of grey, together with lights and reflections, to express different feels and create a sense of neutrality and calmness. Two podium floors with banks and food and beverage outlets activate the urban life on lower levels.
