MVRDV designs “Out of the Box” 25-storey residential tower in Taipei
Dutch architect MVRDV has designed the 25-storey “Out of the Box” residential tower for the Win Sing Development Company in Taipei’s northern Tianmu neighbourhood.

It has a jagged marble façade with spaces that jut out from the building’s core to form loggias, balconies and terraces, the largest of which is six metres deep.

MVRDV used “digital scripting” for window box placing, which altered the traditional design of various apartment sizes, so that each of the building’s 93 apartments has a unique floorplan, which MVRDV says gave the project its name.

    The tower will have a multifunctional space on its ground floor and a communal terrace at the crown.

    It will be located on Zhongshan North Road, an artery connecting central Taipei and its northern districts and will be recognisable from a distance against Tianmu’s mainly low and mid-rise buildings.

    Winy Maas, MVRDV founder, said: “Considering this building’s location and its low-rise neighbours, we knew that this would be a building for viewing – something to see, and something to see from.

    “How could we express that in our design? The boxes popping out from the building signify this quality. They literally reach out into the surroundings, providing ideal lookout platforms to see the mountains and the city. From the street, they form distinctive, eye-catching features for passers-by.”
