Büro Ole Scheeren 奥雷·舍人建筑事务所

Beijing-based practice Büro Ole Scheeren produces corporate headquarters and cultural civic centers characterized by deep pixelated subtractions, cantilevered elevated plazas, and sculptural glazed envelopes that break apart conventional tower massing. This work serves as a clear reference when specifying deeply recessed facade fins, engineering dramatic cantilevered public spaces, or structuring asymmetric volumetric shifts across dense mixed-use developments.

An aerial precedent for stacked, interlocking residential blocks that break down monolithic density through porous massing and shared sky gardens.

What we like about this project
Massive residential volumes appear to float above swimming pools via heavy cylindrical structural supports.

Geometry
Hexagonal arrangement of stacked horizontal residential blocks creating a porous, three-dimensional matrix with large interstitial void spaces and sky terraces.
Facade system
Precast concrete panels with continuous horizontal ribbon windows and recessed balconies.
Structural guess
Post-tensioned concrete flat slabs with transfer structures supporting the cantilevered and stacked hexagonal blocks.
Spatial scale
Massive multi-block residential mega-structure containing multiple stacked stories per interlocking volume.
Lighting
Soft overcast daylight casting gentle shadows across multiple intersecting volumetric planes and swimming pools.
Atmosphere
Expansive, communal, and tropical, balancing massive scale with garden-level intimacy.
Environmental context
Tropical urban residential masterplan integrated with dense surrounding greenery, pools, and recreational courtyards.
Spatial experience
The composition creates a dense yet highly interconnected landscape where elevated blocks form vast covered public realms, courtyards, and communal gardens below.
Composition rhythm
Hexagonal rotational symmetry with stacked horizontal balconies establishing a repeating layered banding rhythm.
Style reading
Contemporary parametric megastructure
