I thought it would be covered by greenery, it would be awesome if it did. The name does not symbolise the buildings design.

Yes finally a apartment that looks like something built in the west (Y)
It's like apartments in toronto woot (Y)
Glassy too
hopefully more apartments get built like this in taiwan

You should respect "Xinbei" or "New Taipei" citizens

This building belongs to "Xinbei" or "New Taipei" city......not "Taipei" city....

Misleading topics should be prohibited

Where is it located exactly?

Taipei Walker · February 19th, 2011, 09:28 PM

In Danshui

Nice building

BUT
As mentioned by Awesome.e, the name does not match.

IMHO, there is nothing about water or cube or water cube that I see about this structure and facility.............unless of course I would be proven wrong.

hello!! each apartment inside the building will be supplied by several cubic feet of water annually via the building's plumbing system. hence 'water cube'. DUH!!!

rising nicely

While the architecture is intriguing, I disapprove of the building being located beside a major intersection. Having visited the site before, this building and other newly built condos dangerously create a crowded and congested environment. Towers of this height should be built in redevelopment zones in downtown Taipei, not suburban Tamsui.
