CASE PAVILION 案亭建筑事务所

Based in Shanghai, CASE PAVILION creates studio offices, cultural retail pavilions, and public plazas defined by dramatic ceiling geometries, deep daylight shafts carved through heavy floor plates, and crisp graphic elements inserted against raw structural frames. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing light wells for deep-plan adaptive reuse projects, balancing lush indoor landscapes beneath heavy structural slabs, or specifying vivid accent framing across minimalist glazed facades.

Exterior courtyard view of multi-story apartment building with red tile base, glass block walls, and external spiral staircases by CASE PAVILION.

阿那亚公寓

上海

An exterior residential facade precedent by CASE PAVILION featuring a high-contrast ground level with deep red glazed tiles and glass blocks, paired with delicate white external egress stairs and continuous balconies.

What we like about this project
The slender, sculptural white spiral stair tower provides both critical egress and a dynamic visual anchor against the neutral upper facade.

Geometry
Low-angle eye-level view showing a stepped multi-story apartment facade featuring a recessed ground floor level, continuous upper balconies, and an external white circular stair tower.
Facade system
Combination of red ceramic tile cladding, glass block curtain walls, punched windows, and lightweight metal railings.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete frame with infill walls and cantilevered slab balconies.
Spatial scale
Human scale at ground level with multi-story residential massing overhead; two children stand near the entrance for scale.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight providing soft illumination without harsh shadows, with warm artificial downlights under the ground-floor overhang.
Atmosphere
Calm, airy, and inviting residential atmosphere blending lush greenery with crisp architectural geometry.
Environmental context
Urban residential courtyard setting with a manicured lawn, mature trees, and pedestrian scale paving.
Spatial experience
Approaching from the green lawn and paved walkway, the transition from open grounds to the sheltered ground-floor storefronts and lobbies creates a welcoming, permeable residential interface.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal banding of balconies contrasts with the vertical accent of the tree trunk and the helical geometry of the egress stair.
Style reading
Contemporary residential architecture with expressive structural circulation and tactile material contrasts
