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.

Exterior view framed between urban infill buildings, showing a glass and steel high-rise curtain wall under construction by Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects.

上海 / 杭州

An urban infill perspective showing a multi-story glass curtain wall tower under construction, framed by tighter street structures—useful for studying tall building envelopes within dense contexts.

What we like about this project
The exposed steel rigging and window-washing tracks atop the roof create a mechanical crown.

Geometry
Symmetrical high-rise elevation viewed straight down a narrow urban corridor, framed by two adjacent mid-rise facades.
Facade system
Unitized glass curtain wall with prominent metal mullions and slab-edge covers.
Structural guess
Steel frame structure with concrete floor slabs and exterior glazed curtain wall.
Spatial scale
Multi-story tower viewed from street level between medium-height urban fabric.
Lighting
Clear daylight with bright, direct sun hitting the glass facade and casting deep shadows in the flanking urban slot.
Atmosphere
Industrial, raw, and vertical, emphasizing the dynamic contrast between finished tower elements and unfinished context.
Environmental context
Dense urban industrial or commercial infill setting with neighboring buildings under construction or renovation.
Spatial experience
Glimpsed from a tight urban street canyon, the soaring glazed tower presents a stark vertical contrast to the surrounding rough structures.
Composition rhythm
Strict vertical and horizontal grid of the curtain wall framed symmetrically by heavy foreground volumetric walls.
