由Aedas主席及全球设计董事Keith Griffiths（纪达夫）设计的台中商业银行企业总部“台中之钻”位于台中市商业中心，是一座高达200米的大楼。该项目由台中商业银行总部办公空间及奢华酒店组成。项目设计概念以台中商业银行的“中”字为基础。设计避免采用将所有大型功能区堆叠在单一塔楼中的做法，而是打造了两座“分离”的塔楼，并在中间设置垂直空间将其连接并容纳大型设施。该设计将一系列“漂浮”的透明玻璃盒子置于两座塔楼间的空间中，以容纳如展览区域、空中花园、会议设施、宴会厅及游泳池等多种业态功能。这一独具匠心的设计不仅赋予建筑更加丰富的外形，还为该区域打造了一座主干道旁引人注目的建筑地标。屋顶露台设有餐厅和VIP俱乐部，连同室外绿植露台，为访客提供极佳的阳台空间和壮丽的城市景观。该项目已于今年10月动土。

Designed by Chairman and Global Design Principal Keith Griffiths, the project is a 200-meter high tower located in the commercial center of Taichung city. It comprises headquarters office space for Taichung Commercial Bank and luxury hotel accommodation. The design concept originates from the Chinese character ‘中’ (literally meaning ‘center’) in the logo of the Taichung Commercial Bank. Instead of stacking all functions in a singular tower, the design creates two ‘separate’ towers with a vertical void in the middle to connect them and capture the large facilities A series of ‘floating’ transparent glass boxes for large functions such as exhibition areas, sky gardens, conferencing facilities, a ballroom and a swimming pool is situated inside the void to enrich the building shape and create an eye-catching feature along the main spectacular balcony with magnificent city view.
