北·院-I-西山智谷
北京
An exterior precedent for multi-building corporate or R&D campuses featuring fluid, white horizontal ribbon slabs and continuous curvilinear glazing.
- What we like about this project
- The upper floor levels angle back dynamically while maintaining continuous horizontal window bands right up to the roofline.

- Geometry
- Low-slung and mid-rise volumes arranged around a central paved plaza, featuring sweeping, dynamic floor plates with continuous ribbon windows.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing alternating with continuous solid white composite or concrete horizontal eyebrow bands.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with cantilevered floor plates supporting sweeping ribbon facades.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-story corporate or R&D campus buildings viewed from a wide pedestrian and vehicular arrival court.
- Lighting
- Bright ambient daylight under an open sky, casting soft shadows beneath the projecting white floor plates.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, luminous, and expansive corporate atmosphere defined by horizontal white bands.
- Environmental context
- A spacious landscaped corporate or civic campus set against open skies with immature native trees framing the hardscape plaza.
- Spatial experience
- The complex presents a flowing, horizontal horizon from the open plaza, with tiered floor slabs that visually unify separate pavilions into a cohesive campus.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating horizontal floor bands stacked vertically, punctuated by sweeping diagonal cuts and dynamic corner profiles.
