The landmark building located on the bank of Taichung River takes the owner's name "Tiangang" as the starting point of design: the glass curtain wall with elegant arc symbolizes "heaven", while the volume and lines of concrete represent "post". Taking "three" and "real" as the main axis, it is expected that the architectural image can complement each other with the enterprise value. The plain "real" and unadamant of the fair-faced concrete of the existing office building are continued, and the rich simplicity of the dark curved glass reflects the "three" rock veins rushing to the sky. The main entrance focuses on the LOGO flying upward, and strengthens the visual aid through lines to show the corporate image of "soaring into the sky. The main facade uses a dialogue between the "through" of the glass curtain wall and the "solid" of the concrete, creating a combination of volume and curved lines. A layer of streamlined concrete columns are accurately measured by 3D lofting technology to ensure consistent and smooth flow in and out of logistics.

Large green spaces are dotted outside the unloading area, just like a surreal dialogue with the huge building volume behind, highlighting the image of the main building "the post of the site. Green roofs provide green islands in the air while reducing the heat from the sun. The landmark building on the riverbank combines innovation and technology to create a dialogue between virtual and real, the rhythm of lines and a sense of speed in a simple way. Through the architectural language, it is a metaphor for the business style of internal harmony and external harmony. The covering of building materials and lines symbolizes the implementation of the business philosophy from top to bottom, from the inside out, and becomes the cornerstone of the company's sustainable development.
