艺合境建筑事务所

Based in Nanjing, 艺合境建筑事务所 creates cultural exhibition spaces and retreats defined by tactile masonry masses, where continuous perforated brick screens, recessed shadow gaps, and diagonal external stairs integrate circulation directly into the facade composition. This body of work serves as a strong reference when embedding display niches directly into solid brick bases or designing terraced green roofs that transition seamlessly into outdoor amphitheaters.

An exterior street precedent combining traditional pitched-roof profiles with contemporary perforated masonry screens and expansive multi-story glazing.

What we like about this project
Perforated brick screens wrap continuously from street walls up into facade elements, blurring solid and void.

Geometry
Dual pitched-roof volumes connected by a lower bar, featuring large multi-story punched glass openings and street-level perforated screens.
Facade system
Combination of perforated screen wall, punched windows, and full-height structural glazing.
Structural guess
Concrete frame with post-and-beam elements supporting gabled roof forms.
Spatial scale
Multi-story civic or commercial scale; three to four levels along the street edge.
Lighting
Twilight or dusk ambient sky with warm interior lighting glowing through large windows and screens.
Atmosphere
Inviting evening mood created by warm interior glows contrasting against cool twilight shadows.
Environmental context
Urban street frontage with asphalt road, sidewalk, cars, and pedestrians at twilight.
Spatial experience
The street elevation shifts from opaque solid walls to permeable perforated masonry screens, drawing the eye toward an entry courtyard.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetrical gabled masses balanced by a horizontal base of repetitive perforated brickwork.
