TSMC Global R&D center houses more than 7,000 engineers, with offices overlooking a vast atrium measuring 160 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 47 meters tall. Sky bridges, open corridors, a central water feature, and timber panels create a bright, calming environment. Natural light enters through skylights and low-E curtain walls, while stack ventilation improves air quality. The design transforms a technical facility into a sustainable, human-centered workplace that responds to site constraints with thoughtful architectural and environmental solutions.
