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.

High-angle aerial view of a dense modern office campus master plan by Cendes, featuring mid-rise and high-rise commercial towers with gridded facades.

An aerial master-plan view of a corporate campus precedent by Cendes, showcasing dense commercial blocks and mixed-height office towers set within a planned urban grid.

What we like about this project
A distinctive curved circular pavilion anchors the central plaza amidst the orthogonal grid of office blocks.

Geometry
An extensive urban master plan featuring a grid of multi-story office blocks, punctuated by several taller glazed towers and a central circular pavilion.
Facade system
Unitized glass curtain walls and punched window panels with vertical fins.
Structural guess
Steel and concrete frames with lateral shear cores for the taller towers.
Spatial scale
Macro-scale aerial perspective showing multi-story commercial buildings, towers, and city-scale infrastructure.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight casting soft shadows across the buildings and wide multi-lane roads.
Atmosphere
A clean, orderly commercial environment under an expansive gray sky.
Environmental context
Expansive suburban-to-urban fringe with green parkland visible on one side and a grid of wide roadways framing the commercial blocks.
Spatial experience
The view surveys a sprawling corporate campus with wide multimodal avenues, landscaped street edges, and a dense arrangement of working blocks.
Composition rhythm
Repeating window grids across multiple facades establish a consistent commercial aesthetic across diverse building heights.
