CIBIC WORKSHOP

Based in Shanghai, CIBIC WORKSHOP pairs heavy masonry bases and historic timber envelopes with sharp geometric profiles, saturated chromatic interventions, and delicate metal joinery across museum galleries and residential living halls. This portfolio offers a strong reference when detailing bold architectural contrast within existing building fabrics, integrating functional utilities into custom perforated cabinetry, or specifying lightweight mesh circulation elements for multi-level interiors.

A residential design precedent combining rustic stone masonry with bold monochromatic volumetric interventions and richly textured, theatrical interiors.

What we like about this project
The intense red projecting rectangular box punctures the rustic stone facade with unexpected chromatic precision.

Geometry
The left image shows a thick rubble-stone volume punctured by a vertically extruded rectangular box finished in solid red render. The right image reveals a heavy plaster interior wall with a recessed circular disk, wooden door, and rustic console.
Facade system
Rubble stone masonry wall with a cantilevered or projecting solid-rendered accent volume.
Structural guess
Load-bearing stone masonry walls.
Spatial scale
Domestic scale; the projecting red volume is roughly one to two stories high.
Lighting
Direct, low-angle sunlight casting sharp shadows and highlighting textural variations on stone, render, and plaster.
Atmosphere
Earthy, dramatic, and tactile, blending natural elements with striking color interventions.
Environmental context
Rural woodland setting surrounded by pine and olive trees, visible in the exterior frame.
Spatial experience
The exterior contrasts organic rough stone with a hyper-saturated, geometrically strict red element. The interior offers a warm, enclosed, theatrical atmosphere with low directional sunlight.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetrical composition balancing heavy stone masses with concentrated chromatic accents.
Style reading
