上海
A corporate headquarters precedent showcasing a crisp two-story gridded facade sheltered beneath a monolithic overhanging flat roof.
- What we like about this project
- The extreme thinness of the wide roof overhang creates a sharp profile against the evening sky.

- Geometry
- Low-slung orthogonal two-story block crowned by an expansive thin-edged roof overhang, set within a landscaped lawn.
- Facade system
- Dark metal or painted concrete structural grid with multi-lite glazed sectional or curtain wall infill.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with heavy perimeter columns supporting a wide-span canopy slab.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story corporate scale; large facade bays establish a commanding horizontal rhythm.
- Lighting
- Twilight exterior; interior illumination glows warmly through multilight gridded glazing, balanced by low uplights on the lawn.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and luminous at dusk, with warm interior light contrasting against dark structural framing.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or industrial park campus setting featuring rolling lawn berms and paved walkways.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across open lawn, the deep roof canopy and repetitive gridded glass bays project a calm, orderly corporate presence.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict regular vertical and horizontal structural grid rhythm across both stories.
