EDGE 一界设计

Based in Chongqing, EDGE 一界设计 develops civic cultural centers and alpine resort master plans characterized by dramatic tectonic contrasts, juxtaposing raw historic artifacts and heavy timber frameworks with fluid, lake-edge contours and precise linear illumination. This portfolio provides a strong reference when integrating massive industrial relics within modern public halls, or when detailing undulating vaulted structures that seamlessly connect resort interiors to surrounding topographies.

Composite view of an industrial heritage adaptation project featuring a steel and glass facade, aerial site, curved luminous hallway, and a massive preserved blast furnace interior under a glazed atrium roof by EDGE 一界设计.

An industrial heritage adaptive reuse precedent demonstrating the integration of massive historic machinery within a contemporary steel-and-glass structural enclosure.

What we like about this project
A massive, rusted industrial blast furnace vessel is retained and suspended directly within the pristine white-and-steel modern atrium hall.

Geometry
Multi-pane glass curtain wall with integrated curved structural elements sits above a reflective reflecting pool; interior views reveal monumental industrial steel trusses and a suspended blast furnace vessel within a grand atrium.
Facade system
Curtain wall glazing over structural steel framing with central curved architectural cutouts.
Structural guess
Heavy steel frame construction with wide-span overhead trusses and composite concrete floors.
Spatial scale
Monumental scale; multi-story atrium housing massive industrial equipment alongside human-scaled circulation elements.
Lighting
Clear natural daylight filtering through large overhead glass grid roofs, augmented by warm directional uplighting on industrial artifacts and crisp linear perimeter strips in circulation spaces.
Atmosphere
Dramatic, awe-inspiring, and reverent toward industrial history through scale and warm artifact lighting.
Environmental context
Post-industrial urban waterfront setting with preserved historic remnants and open public hardscape plazas.
Spatial experience
The transition moves from expansive industrial waterfront context through a glowing, curvaceous tunnel portal into a towering, awe-inspiring indoor hall dominated by heavy machinery scale.
Composition rhythm
Repeating steel structural bays and linear luminous portal arches establish a strong sense of longitudinal procession.
