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.
