Staff-Headquarters-2
上海
An industrial interior space precedent featuring raw exposed concrete and perforated steel circulation elements, ideal for modern office headquarters and institutional atriums.
- What we like about this project
- Expanded metal mesh on the stair railings and bridge sides keeps the heavy industrial elements visually light and transparent.

- Geometry
- Double-height industrial volume dominated by massive board-marked concrete walls, crossed by an open steel staircase and an overhead bridge.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with steel structural additions for walkways and stairs.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height volume, spanning approximately two to three stories with heavy structural elements.
- Lighting
- A square ceiling skylight punches direct daylight onto the floor below, complemented by recessed downlights and spotlights against a dark ceiling.
- Atmosphere
- Stoic, quiet, and robust, softened by precise natural light entering through the overhead skylight.
- Environmental context
- Interior hall of an urban staff headquarters with a glimpse of exterior greenery to the right.
- Spatial experience
- The cavernous hall feels grounded yet airy, pulled together by industrial circulation elements traversing the central void.
- Composition rhythm
- Diagonal movement of the stair contrasts with the horizontal bridge and vertical tie-holes of the concrete wall.
