The project serves as the flagship building of the park and anchors the eastern end of the park, while the Taiwan High Speed Rail Hsinchu Station anchors the other end of the central axis. The design is based on the concept of "bio-core “, which explores how architecture can inspire to behave like living organisms in response to its environmental conditions. Programmatically the project provides a creative research platform for the biotechnology industry, while incorporating sustainable green energy, technological imagery and humanistic concepts, to elevate organic architecture to a new level of holistic consciousness.

Surrounded by mountains, farmland, and open space, Zhubei Biomedical Park forms a beautiful research and incubation environment. In terms of site planning, the concentration of the building volumes allows for maximum open space and facilitates connection with the central green belt. The exterior design of the building considers the environmental factors to stagger the volumes to enhance shading and ventilation, and through parametric daylighting analysis, translates the response into a rhythmic fenestration pattern.

The building minimizes its environmental impact and carbon emissions through modular construction for reusability and waste reduction. It employs optimized design and waste management strategies to minimize material waste during construction and renovation. Passive design elements like daylighting and natural ventilation reduce reliance on energy-intensive systems, cutting operational carbon emissions. Integration of sustainable energy sources further decreases its environmental footprint. This holistic approach ensures efficiency, lowers operational costs, enhances indoor environmental quality, and sets a benchmark for sustainable development.

The project demonstrates consideration for both people and the planet through several key features: 1. User-Centric Design: The building's layout and amenities prioritize the well-being and productivity of its occupants. Features such as the central atrium, comfortable meeting spaces, and ample natural light promote collaboration, creativity, and a positive work environment. By fostering a sense of community and connection among tenants, the building contributes to the social fabric of the research park and enhances overall quality of life for its users. 2. Inclusive Design Principles: The project embraces inclusive design principles by providing flexible floor configurations and circulation systems that accommodate diverse user needs and mobility requirements. Accessibility features, such as wide staircases and barrier-free pathways, ensure that the building is welcoming and accessible to all individuals, regardless of physical ability.

what the client saying: After the completion of Biotech Phase III, both in terms of spatial layout and overall visual appearance, it is stunning and far exceeds the expectations of both us and all tenants involved.
