| DESIGN NAME: Commercial Bank Headquarters of Taichung PRIMARY FUNCTION: Commercial Bank HQ & Five Star Hotel INSPIRATION: The design concept is based on the Chinese character “Chung (Centre)” in the Taichung bank logo. Unlike the traditional tower, the project divides the space into two blocks and joins them with the low-level public space. The low-level public space was designed in several box volumes and penetrate into the middle transparent glass curtain wall. The middle-level areas set up several glass boxes, which could serve as public green space and greatly enhanced the richness of the tower facade. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The 210m high tower is a mixed use development comprised of the Taichung Bank Headquarter, a 5 star hotel and a private VIP club at the top. Instead of stacking all these functions in a singular tower, the design intention is to create two separate towers with a vertical void in the centre. A series of ‘float¬ing’ volumes which house the large functions such as the ballroom, swimming pool, and meeting rooms will be situated inside the void to create a unique iconic space facing the main road.

NAME: Taichung Bank PROFILE: Formerly a cooperative savings company in Taichung permitted to establish in April 1953, the predecessor of Taichung Bank started its operation in savings and loans in August 1st of the same year. The scope of business then covered Taichung City, Taichung County, Chang Hwa County and Nantou County. In compliance with the amendments to Banking Act and business development needs, the Bank successfully transformed into "Taichung Small and Medium Business Bank" in 1978.On May 15, 1984, the Bank went public and expanded its scale of operations, and has successfully been listed on the centralized market. These Earnings Per Share have helped to lay down a solid foundation of the Bank in subsequent development. In September 1995, the Taipei Branch started operating and stepped out of the threshold for restricted regional business. Until the end of 2010, the Bank has increased its capital from NTD500,000 to NTD17.319 billion, and expects to expand to an operation with 80 branch locations in 2011 from 5 at the beginning of the operation. The business lines and operations upon the expansion have grown by multiples of those charged by the cooperative savings company at the very beginning. |
