Design

Situated by the Keelung River in the fast-emerging southeastern district of Nangang in Taipei, Lè Architecture aims to convey traditional Taiwanese culture of roundness, strength and elegance with a modern twist by using an egg-shaped exterior design, which was inspired from the small pebbles in the Keelung River. Aiming to minimise energy demands, the building employs several sustainable features, such as a green façade that can lower the interior temperature by acting as a shade to reduce heat gain. Furthermore, natural light is allowed to enter the building by the use of vertical aluminium fins to control the amount of sunlight streaming through the windows. The trees planted in the exterior aims to act as air filters for the building.[4][5]
