About Dream Builder Primary Function: Te Hoahoa Rototanga o te Tari Matua Pakihi

Book Text: Ko Dream Builder te tari matua me te wheketere o tētahi kamupene mekameka mātao i te tāone o Chiayi, i Taiwan. E whai ana te hoahoa i ngā whakaaro Bauhaus mō te mahi, te āhua matarau māmā me ngā rawa pono. Ka whakatōpūhia ngā anga rino nunui o waho mā te tikanga āhua-modula ki te hanga i ngā rōrahi karakara i whakaawetia e ngā pouaka takai kawenga. Ka honoa te kōhatu, te raima hoahoanga, ngā papa rākau kāore i pania me ngā papa raima whenua ki te iho tae o te kiwikiwi. Ka whakaatuhia e ngā pakitara o roto te nako rākau āhua-heringi, ā, kua whakaritea te whakamarama kia rerekē te āhua puta noa i te rā.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This project analyzed the Bauhaus essence of functionalism, faithfulness to materials, shape, and function, less is more and people-oriented. At the same time, freshness, which the cold chain operation system values, is transformed into a new look and break-through design.
Dimensions & Packaging: By applying a semi-modular construction method, huge external iron frames are stacked to form a surrealistic sense. The integration for the exterior also used several surface materials in the primary color of gray. The outdoor paints that responded to the representative color of the company show a dynamic aesthetic while linking the dissimilar materials and appearances. Furthermore, lighting arrangements for the two structures and the surrounding environment are carefully laid out to create various styles during different periods of the day.
Tags: Commercial space, Corporate headquarters, Cold chain technology, Retail store, Architectural design, Office
Production Technology: Stones, architectural concrete, spliced unpainted wood panels, wooden grains, modern concrete grinding stone floorings, various indoor eco-friendly paints, outdoor paints, and metal
Design Challenge: The corporate base is located in a narrow trapezoidal hinterland in the rezoning area. To avoid the terrain affecting the shape and orientation of the buildings while considering the surrounding scenery, the retreat of the road, and parking space for visitors and logistics vehicles, the designer spent a lot of effort on the overall construction. In the end, the location of factory is moved backward, and the headquarter is rotated with traffic flows and floor plans rearranged.
Research: Like a giant Rubik cube being placed at the edge of city, the corporate headquarters that built its business on the cold chain is created with vivid and surreal touches. The designer hoped to create a getaway filled with hopes and dreams that joins nature and humanity while showing the aesthetics of creativity. At the same time, the walls are constructed with herringbone wooden grains to deliver smooth while the installation art on the ceiling is arranged in a streamlined manner to imitate the flow of fish migrating.
Inspiration: A new outset for urban development is also the initial point of the enterprise dream journey. With the passion for the hometown and land, the owner of this case returned to the Xinxing District in Chiayi City to create a unique cold chain enterprise headquarter. The designer has created a colorful, dreamy factory that leads the region towards better development by linking the design with various concepts, such as nature and ecology, cultural and creative management, urban visioning, and sustainable environmental protection.
Project Duration: This project is located in Chiayi City, Taiwan, and is completed in September 2020.
Operation Flow: The experienced designer hoped to create a design that combines the cold chain industry functionality, value, and urban economic effects with aesthetics. A colorful appearance that symbolizes packaging boxes by modularization is built by drawing inspiration from the logistics and packaging procedures. At the same time, the essential geometric and modular elements, simple linear and bright colors of the architecture echo with Bauhaus concepts of showing functionality.
