DSA东设

Based in Hangzhou, DSA东设’s commercial office complexes and corporate headquarters demonstrate a strict geometric alignment between facade rhythms and ground-plane paving, integrated with multi-level green roofs and subtle vertical accent lighting. The work provides a strong reference when designing transitions from expansive urban plazas into elevated landscape terraces or resolving structural and visual continuity across high-density corporate campuses.

An aerial masterplan precedent showcasing a dense corporate campus integration of dark masonry blocks with green roofs, internal courtyards, and adjacent natural wetlands.

What we like about this project
Extensive intensive green roofs and roof terraces integrated across nearly every flat-topped corporate block.

Geometry
A dense urban campus featuring mid-rise rectangular blocks arranged in a grid-like pattern, punctuated by courtyards, green roofs, and weaving canals.
Facade system
Grid-based punched window openings set within dark masonry volume walls.
Structural guess
Steel or concrete frames with punched masonry cladding.
Spatial scale
Large macro-scale aerial perspective showing multi-block corporate or mixed-use campus fabric.
Lighting
Bright daytime overhead lighting casting soft, even shadows across rooftops and surrounding parkland.
Atmosphere
Calm, orderly corporate density contrasting with the untamed green horizon.
Environmental context
Urban edge context immediately interfacing with an expansive dense forest reserve and winding natural waterways.
Spatial experience
The composition balances dense architectural clusters with vast natural forest expanses and linear water bodies, establishing a distinct campus enclave.
Composition rhythm
Repeating rectilinear building footprints interspersed with green courtyards and structured canal alignments.
