Situated beside the main entrance of Taichung Software Park, a uniquely shaped building quietly stands as Digiwin’s AI, big data, esports, and cultural innovation research center. As a benchmark enterprise in the ERP industry, Digiwin’s corporate headquarters not only emphasizes practicality and efficiency but also reflects a passionate commitment to architectural aesthetics.
Design Concept
The company founder, with a deep passion for architecture, explicitly mandated the use of the “circle” as the core design concept. To accommodate a large number of legally required parking spaces, the basement employs an 8.5m x 8.5m column grid to ensure optimal parking efficiency. Above ground, the square column grid and office cubical units fill the circular central area, while the irregular corners along the circle’s edge are cleverly utilized for small discussion tables and relaxation zones, transforming otherwise unusable spaces into functional areas.
This layout resembles the discarded edge scraps after wafer cutting; however, using a circular office floor plan does not cause significant space efficiency loss.
As a highly customized system, ERP requires forming dedicated teams for different clients, and these teams are distributed among various circular clusters.
The founder places great importance on communication and interaction between teams, thus designing numerous outdoor, semi-outdoor, and indoor interaction spaces between the circles to connect them.
These spaces feature overlapping and reconfiguration of circles and arcs, forming the core architectural elements of the entire building.
