AICO建筑设计有限公司

Based in Shenzhen, AICO建筑设计有限公司 designs commercial retail and civic atriums defined by soaring skylit voids, sweeping circular footbridges, and stepped roof topographies that extend accessible green space toward surrounding landscapes. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when resolving multi-level interior circulation across deep commercial volumes, integrating bold graphic glass facades, or balancing continuous sculptural curves with vibrant focal kiosks.

Aerial twilight view of a terraced residential complex beside a lake, designed by AICO建筑设计有限公司 in Shenzhen.

广州越秀樾湖天地

深圳

An aerial site precedent demonstrating how stepped, terraced low-rise volumes can activate a lake edge while integrating with surrounding high-density towers.

What we like about this project
The complex roof terracing forms a cohesive stepped topography that mirrors the undulating contour of the lakeshore.
