This is a project that we all love. The nature of the site is
amazing. When we visited the site, the feeling of being
surrounded by nature, the wet grass, the sound of the birds,
the smell of the morning fog, the old leafy trees… was
indescribable.

It was clear that the main challenge of the site was how
to integrate a Weather Station in such a magnificent
environment. This project achieved that dividing the Weather
Station into 3 buildings and using an undulating roof to help
establish a gentle relationship with the ground.

This is communicated through a façade composed of 345 fins that each respond to the movement and moisture of the air moving and changing in appearance over time. Their perforated Corten steel surfaces allow for views to the verdant natural surroundings while simultaneously shading the interior from Taiwan’s harsh summer sun. More importantly, they make the users aware of the movement of the sun throughout the day.

The building also communes with its natural surroundings through integration of the local landscape environment into a sweeping, organic roof design that assists in the collection of rainfall. These elements combine to create a meteorological station that sits in balance and harmony with its’ invaluable surrounding natural environment.
