Tao Zhu Yin Yuan, Sustainable residential skyscraper in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan.
Tao Zhu Yin Yuan rises 93.2 meters with 21 floors above ground, featuring a distinctive spiral design that rotates 4.5 degrees per floor, creating a DNA helix-inspired structure covered with approximately 20,000 trees and shrubs across its facade.
Construction began in 2013 and completed in 2018, representing Taiwan's commitment to sustainable urban development during a period of rapid modernization in Taipei's central business district.
The building symbolizes Taiwan's integration of traditional Chinese philosophy with modern architecture, embodying the concept of harmony between human habitation and nature through its living facade and organic form.
The tower features seven elevators including one for supercars, a rooftop helipad, LEED Gold certification, and advanced systems for rainwater harvesting, solar energy, and natural ventilation to reduce energy consumption.
This residential tower absorbs approximately 130 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually through its extensive greenery, making it one of the world's few high-rise buildings that actively improves urban air quality.
