一树建筑 ATELIER XI

Based in Shenzhen, ATELIER XI shapes community park pavilions and cultural follies through sculptural monolithic transitions, dramatic cantilevered profiles, and luminous geometric cutouts that soften indoor-outdoor thresholds. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing continuous perimeter light strips beneath hovering volumes, framing mirrored circular voids over water basins, or contrasting refined exhibition enclosures against raw landscape conditions.

Low-slung concrete residential volumes with irregular punched windows set in a grassy landscape by Atelier XI.

An exterior facade precedent for asymmetrical concrete residential architecture that employs scattered punched openings and contrasting solid-void volumes.

What we like about this project
Varying scales of square windows are clustered densely across the upper facade rather than following a rigid structural grid.

Geometry
Asymmetrical two-story concrete volumes with staggered rectangular punched openings and a low-pitched roofline, connected to a lower single-story wing with a roof terrace.
Facade system
In-situ cast concrete wall with deeply recessed punched window openings and floor-to-ceiling glass assemblies.
Structural guess
Cast-in-place concrete load-bearing walls and slabs
Spatial scale
Human scale is established by standard door openings and interior furniture visible through the large glass and window reveals.
Lighting
Soft, diffused overcast daylight casting subtle shadows across the textured concrete surfaces and deep window reveals.
Atmosphere
Quiet, contemplative mood created by muted concrete tones against a wide pastoral landscape.
Environmental context
Open, flat rural landscape with mature trees in the background under a pale sky.
Spatial experience
The building presents a monolithic yet porous facade toward the open field, balancing solid mass with framed transparency and interior glimpses.
Composition rhythm
Irregular rhythm of scattered punched openings punctuated by wide horizontal roof lines and a glazed lower pavilion.
