The CPC Kaohsiung Sales Office Building and Gas Station has been officially unveiled. Located in the central district of Fengshan, north of Weiwuying and adjacent to the Jianguo Interchange, it serves as an important urban transportation hub. Stretching 200 meters along the street, the site has been developed into a modern landmark that combines function and symbolism, acting as a gateway to the port city of Kaohsiung. The facility is scheduled to open by the end of this year or early next year.

Architect Yeh Shih-Tsung, responsible for the design and supervision of the project, explained that the complex consists of a two-story gas station and service building on the east side, and an eight-story office building on the west side. The design incorporates folded planes and curved forms to reflect the imagery of a harbor city, showcasing CPC’s modern corporate image and environmental responsibility. The office façade combines louvers with artificial stone panels, creating a sleek, dynamic visual language. Structural glass panels feature printed oil-drop patterns, echoing the company’s core business, while a protruding oil drop–shaped meeting room at the street corner cleverly symbolizes the essence of energy.

Yeh noted that the building incorporates high-efficiency sustainable design features, earning the Diamond-Level Green Building Candidate Certificate. Different energy-saving strategies were applied to each orientation—such as a double-layer aluminum panel chimney effect on the east side, sun-shading louvers on the south, large north-facing windows with anti-glare louvers, and a rooftop equipped with 92 kWp translucent photovoltaic panels that provide both daylighting and renewable energy generation.

To create a neighborhood- and community-friendly environment, the design team incorporated a setback public plaza at the street corner, providing space for events and art installations. On the north side, facing public housing, the office tower’s massing is angled and set back to preserve both views and privacy.

The new CPC Kaohsiung Sales Office project not only reflects the vision of an energy enterprise in transition but also stands as a new benchmark for integrating efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability.
