Built to meet the needs of the growing number of tourists, the Pingtung Second Road multi-storey car park features SKA20-33 expanded metal mesh as its visual trademark, reminiscent of white sails on the sea.

This mesh is manufactured using sophisticated bending and framing techniques to create a dynamic, wave-like facade that subtly moves with the wind. Strategically tilted, it reflects intense sunlight, lowering interior temperatures and promoting excellent air circulation.

This feature not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the garage, but also serves a functional purpose by enhancing the comfort of parked vehicles and visitors alike.

The innovative use of SKA20-33 mesh in the design of the structure underscores a commitment to combining form with function, providing a practical solution that is both visually striking and environmentally conscious.
