While urban sprawl is pushing the boundary of a developing city, its surrounding industrial landscape as important urban life support keeps changing. Light industries such as product-assemblage and parcel transfer, under the rising pressure of land demand, in order to stay close to the city for easy connection, inevitably go vertical: to build higher.
DK Vertical Factory is a response to the scenario. Rising from the horizontal industrial landscape in suburban New Taipei City, a 50-meter-tall building of a window factory presents a gigantic and bold secret cube in orange brand color to be a landmark of the area. The corrugated metal panel cladding of the envelope, taking the advantage of vertical height, aims to deliver a well-organized, industrial-precise and modern facade impression.
The 10-story new factory will offer all the need from manufacturing to user: managing office, material docking and storage, product assemblage and quality control, an innovating center, and a double-height display museum near sky garden, where people can easily visit through fast positioning the roof logo garden in Google Maps.
