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.

A tropical residential precedent featuring a deep-eaved clay tile roof and open verandah connecting interior living to a poolside garden.

What we like about this project
