Sky Jade
Sky Jade is a 24-story residential building in Taichung City, Taiwan. The design prioritizes green space instead of maximizing building coverage, and greenery is shown on the facade. A glass curtain wall inclined at 7 degrees gives a faceted appearance similar to a cut gemstone, so each facade looks different as sunlight and weather change. A sky garden is placed every three floors. Digital parametric modelling was used to simulate climate, daylight, energy use and structure, supporting a low-carbon design that suits the natural setting.
Sky Jade Residence by Golden Jade was identified as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Sky Jade Residence was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2024. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program which honors exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
