3.瑞安侨贸大厦（建成）
北京
An aerial precedent of a high-rise commercial tower featuring fluid, twisted glass curtain wall geometry and dramatic diagonal recesses.
- What we like about this project
- Deep diagonal cuts carving into the mid-section of the tower break the traditional extrusion form.

- Geometry
- A tall multi-story vertical tower featuring dynamically undulating and twisted glass facade planes that create deep recessed diagonal cuts along the elevation.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with curved double-glazed panels and specialized structural framing.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with central concrete core and perimeter moment connections supporting complex curved geometries.
- Spatial scale
- High-rise skyscraper scale towering over mid-rise residential and commercial neighbors.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight catching sharp curved reflections and specular highlights across the glass skin.
- Atmosphere
- Sleek, luminous, and imposing in the expansive daylight urban landscape.
- Environmental context
- Surrounded by a mix of medium-density urban housing, low-rise commercial structures, water bodies, and distant low hills under a clear blue sky.
- Spatial experience
- From an elevated aerial viewpoint, the twisting tower commands the surrounding suburban-to-urban fabric, reflecting sky and context across shifting glass angles.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical continuous mullions interrupted by sweeping diagonal floor plate shifts and curved facets.
