Design

The building was designed by the Taiwanese architect Kris Yao, inspired by the Daily News Building in New York City.[6] The building's design adopts a futuristic sensation by utilising aluminum claddings as well as a glass façade.[7] The 8-meter high office lobby is presented like a public gallery space, with sculptures of Chinese-calligraphy symbols on the walls.[8]
