Back in 2012, the Taichung City Government and Feng Chia University invited WOHA to bring its "Breathing Architecture" exhibition to the city. Initially a part of the city government's Gateway Project Masterplan, the exhibition built on ideas focusing on the design principles of sustainability, low carbon emissions, and smart cities. 

The first of it's kind in Taichung, WOHA was commissioned to design a green and sustainable mixed-use develop within the city. Dubbed "Sky Green," the project contains residential apartments, retail shops, and recreational facilities, all dispersed within two towers.

The Tower A apartments sport extended balconies, each with its own tree. The Tower B units have a more subtle green mesh-like facade. And at every 5 floors are Skygardens, allowing a natural flow of air while providing users a connectivity to the outside.

“We are very happy to have been a part of this collaboration between policy makers, academia and the private sector to design the future ofsustainablehousing in Taichung” said MunSummWong, founding director of WOHA in a statement. “One building can’t change a city but we hopethat Sky Green is the first of many more.”

The construction took a total of 5 years.
