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.

Geometry
Low-slung rectilinear sunken lawn paired with an asymmetrical pitched-roof sports hall set against an urban highway backdrop.
Facade system
Vertical louvers and glazed curtain wall wrapping the main sports hall volume.
Structural guess
Steel truss roof system with concrete retaining walls around the sunken courtyard.
Spatial scale
Large civic scale; multi-acre sports park with buildings several stories tall.
Lighting
Golden hour sunset creating a warm horizontal glow in the sky and long shadows across the paved plaza.
Atmosphere
Serene evening light contrasting against the dense urban infrastructure surrounding the park.
Environmental context
Urban park context surrounded by elevated roadways, tennis courts, and high-rise apartment towers.
Spatial experience
The composition balances a large expansive public plaza and sunken green with a monumental athletic volume under a sweeping roof overhang.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal paved tiers and linear lawn steps framing the sunken courtyard axis.
