COLORFULL 昱景设计

Based in Shanghai, COLORFULL 昱景设计 builds boutique hospitality and commercial pedestrian spaces defined by flush-integrated architectural lighting, layered landscape thresholds, and contemporary glazed insertions set into historic masonry. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing continuous perimeter canopy lighting, integrating mechanical grilles within timber ceiling grids, or introducing modern glazed barrel vaults into low-rise brick rooflines.
