山鼎设计 Cendes

Based in Beijing, 山鼎设计 Cendes designs corporate campuses and high-rise commercial developments through graphic facade tectonics—such as mullion-integrated vertical lighting, customized geometric sunscreens, and randomized curtain wall panels—paired with sharp spatial contrasts like circular pavilions set within orthogonal grids. The portfolio serves as a concrete reference when embedding architectural lighting into tower structural framing, specifying large-scale facade shading systems, or structuring campus master plans around distinct public plaza anchors.

Upward worm's-eye view of a glass skyscraper framed by diagonal pedestrian bridges by Cendes.

成都中交国际中心-web

北京

An upward perspective of a glass skyscraper flanked by diagonal bridging structures, useful as a precedent for monumental urban framing and commercial tower geometries.

What we like about this project
Randomized operable vent panels or shadow patterns create an abstract graphic across the upper curtain wall.

Geometry
Symmetrical low-angle perspective looking straight up a tall tower, framed by converging diagonal bridges from the foreground.
Facade system
Unitized glass curtain wall with regular vertical mullions.
Structural guess
Steel or composite frame with perimeter column grid and suspended skybridges.
Spatial scale
Monumental skyscraper scale contrasted with multi-level pedestrian bridges.
Lighting
Bright daylight with direct sun glinting on the central glass facade and clear blue sky background.
Atmosphere
Clean, bright, and monumental corporate verticality.
Environmental context
Urban high-rise complex or commercial podium framing a central tower.
Spatial experience
Dizzying vertical ascent from a podium courtyard up a high-rise glass curtain wall.
Composition rhythm
Strict grid of curtain wall mullions intersected by strong diagonal lines of elevated walkways.
