Soar Design Studio has designed Forest Factory, the Apricity Development Brand Headquarters in Taipei City, Taiwan.

At this developer's headquarters, the factory steel frame outlines the layout, echoing with its founding origin of a brick kiln.

Diverting from the commercial setting, the design emphasises "openness to the community," said Soar Design Studio, sharing its brand vision with the public while weaving a reinterpreted factory aesthetic and a Taiwan forest impression into the city.

The client, a developer focusing on building upon the sense of place, leverages its brand headquarters as a manifesto of city friendliness and innovative urban aesthetics.

Departing from a normative boxy structure, the design articulates the vision of the brand through an unconventional architectural expression.

Through this multi-functional design, the project attempts to reinterpret the collage-like urban realm in Taiwan, carefully fusing the natural mountain atmospheres and architectural language of the industrial buildings into a new metropolitan prototype.

This project has been shortlisted in the workplace project (small) category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
