刘宇扬建筑事务所 Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects

Based in Shanghai and Hangzhou, Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects articulates studio workspaces and commercial office towers through exposed structural armatures, layered roofscapes, and precise material contrasts between historic forms and contemporary timber or steel insertions. The portfolio offers strong references for detailing expressed mechanical riggings, integrating timber canopy structures with metal facades, or animating podium rooflines with angled louvers and active tracks.

A project photo showcasing a multi-story hotel tower with undulating curved glass and a stepped horizontal podium—useful precedent for mixed-use hospitality design in urban contexts.

What we like about this project
The upper tower overhangs a heavily articulated podium roof garden and angled louver system below.

Geometry
Curvilinear multi-story tower sitting atop a stepped, fragmented podium volume with horizontal articulation.
Facade system
Unitized curved glass curtain wall on the upper tower; horizontal metal louvers and solid panels on the lower podium.
Structural guess
Steel or concrete core with column-supported floor plates and cantilevered tower masses.
Spatial scale
Mid-rise urban development scale relative to human pedestrians and street furniture.
Lighting
Late afternoon daylight catching the curved glass panels and casting soft shadows across the plaza hardscape.
Atmosphere
Open and active public realm setting balanced by sleek vertical tower volumes.
Environmental context
Urban pedestrian plaza flanked by contemporary commercial or mixed-use blocks with young street trees.
Spatial experience
Approaching from the pedestrian path, the tower's undulating glass facade contrasts with the solid, layered horizontal bands of the podium.
Composition rhythm
Repeating horizontal floor slab bands on the tower offset by jagged roofline elements and linear podium louvers.
