The inspiration for Fon 23 was rooted in three key concepts: human-oriented design, social responsibility, and resource sharing. Truedreams Construction envisioned an office space that was not only comfortable and spacious but also environmentally responsible. The design team aimed to create a smart green office building, utilizing eco-friendly materials and techniques from the design phase through to construction. The building's public facilities are also open to charities, reflecting the company's commitment to resource sharing.
What sets Fon 23 apart from other office buildings is its commitment to green design. The building is characterized by extensive greening, with the use of recyclable energy and eco-friendly construction materials. The integration of indoor and outdoor spaces through large French windows and a water landscape on the terrace further enhances the building's unique aesthetic and environmental friendliness.
The realization of Fon 23's design involved innovative techniques to seamlessly blend exterior and interior spaces. The use of honeycombs to connect these spaces, along with extensive greening and a water landscape, creates a comfortable working environment with good ventilation and lighting.
Fon 23, which covers an area of 5561.1 m2, was completed in January 2020 in Taichung, Taiwan. The design process involved the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for integration, from site selection to construction, aligning with international standards. This technology also facilitated the implementation of the smart green building concept, contributing to the project's sustainability goals.
One of the challenges faced during the design process was vertical greening. The solution was a beehive-shaped multi-layer green wall, which not only enhances the aesthetic of the landscape environment but also introduces a sense of beauty to the city. This innovative approach to greening, along with the building's other unique features, led to Fon 23 being awarded Silver in A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2021.
In conclusion, Fon 23 by Truedreams Construction is a testament to the potential of sustainable design. Its unique approach to green building, human-oriented design, and resource sharing sets a new standard for office buildings, demonstrating that sustainability and comfort can go hand in hand. This award-winning project serves as an inspiration for future designs in the field of architecture.
