Location: Taiwan, Bali
Status: Proposal
Program: Administration Building
Design Team: WAO Architects + Design Alliance
Principal Architect: Chi-Cheng Lee
Designers: Nick Chen, Vincent Tsai, Che-Kuang Chuang, Lun Huang, Cao Danny

This project is an administration building design with mixing using programs including Bali district office, clean-team office and Bali registration office. In this proposal we intend to minimize the mass of the building in order to keep the completeness of the ground green area and connect to the surrounding park. In the roof top we apply the form of the Guanyin volcano to create the green roof. In one hand it can receive the rain water and transmit it to the ground water pool, in the other hand it can also effectively isolate the intensely sun shine during the summer time in Bali. The sun-proof louver allows the air exchange without mechanical equipment meanwhile creates the fluent image for the building facade. In the end the administration building is just like a great steamship, slowly sailing in the green forest and head to Taipei Harbor, Bali.
