AIM恺慕建筑设计事务所

Based in Shanghai, AIM恺慕建筑设计事务所 develops corporate atriums and co-living lounges that pair exposed concrete structural frames and split-level garden cutouts with subtle, graphic material accents. The work serves as a strong reference when detailing rhythmic grand stair seating, balancing raw structural surfaces with soft upholstery, or integrating stepped outdoor landscapes into interior office volumes.

Interior lobby with speckled grey terrazzo, vertical wood paneling, and an orange stair volume by AIM Architecture.

An interior precedent for co-living lobbies that layer terrazzo, vertical wood battens, and contrasting color volumes to connect multi-level spaces.

What we like about this project
A split-level cutout drops the eye directly down into a lower garden-lit lounge while maintaining a high wooden datum above.
