AD Workshop

London-based AD Workshop designs civic and cultural environments where earth-integrated green terraces, razor-sharp roof cantilevers, and vertical grazing lights dissolve heavy architectural masses into permeable public landscapes. This portfolio serves as a focused reference when detailing stepped green roof seating over submerged exhibition halls, embedding mature foliage within elevated gallery balconies, or calibrating facade illumination for large-scale public structures.

Night view of a curved commercial facade featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, gold lattice screens, and integrated indoor trees by AD Workshop.

An exterior facade precedent illustrating high-end commercial transparency, combining curved structural glass with decorative metallic lattice screens and integrated planting.

What we like about this project
Integrated indoor trees blur the boundary between exterior terrace landscaping and the interior showroom volume.

Geometry
A sweeping curved facade divided by tall vertical structural columns and rhythmic gold criss-cross lattice screens, opening to an elevated landscaped terrace.
Facade system
Curtain wall structural glass paired with custom metallic lattice shading elements.
Structural guess
Steel frame with cantilevered floor slabs and point-supported structural glazing.
Spatial scale
Large multi-story commercial scale, with people providing human reference along the terrace edge.
Lighting
Warm nighttime uplighting from integrated fixtures casting soft glows across ceilings, screens, and foliage.
Atmosphere
Sophisticated and luminous night ambiance created by warm, integrated architectural lighting.
Environmental context
Urban nocturnal setting with neighboring illuminated storefronts and glowing corporate signage.
Spatial experience
A grand, transparent threshold where exterior viewing balconies merge seamlessly with double-height illuminated interior zones.
Composition rhythm
Vertical bays defined by repetitive structural columns and angled lattice screens following a sweeping curve.
