大舟建筑设计事务所

Based in Shanghai, 大舟建筑设计事务所 articulates atmospheric cafes, lounges, and exhibition spaces through dark shadow-casting overhangs, weathered metallic drapery, and interior ceiling grids crafted from re-contextualized structural materials. This portfolio provides a strong reference when specifying semi-transparent ceiling coffers from refined safety netting, integrating living trees through canopy decks, or linking monolithic dark counters with exposed grid systems.

Exterior courtyard view featuring a sinuous corten steel facade volume and dark steel structural stairs by Daizhou Architecture Design.

An exterior precedent demonstrating the pairing of a fluid, weathered-steel upper volume with industrial external stairs and a sheltered courtyard.

What we like about this project
The undulating profiled panels of the upper story create a soft, textile-like drape effect using rigid weathering steel.

Geometry
An asymmetrical, undulating corten steel upper volume hovers over a dark recessed ground level, contrasted against an orthogonal multi-story industrial facade with external stairways.
Facade system
Corten steel rainscreen with vertical shadow gaps and punched openings over a dark glazed or paneled ground floor.
Structural guess
Steel frame structure supporting cantilevered upper volumes and exterior egress stairs.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled courtyard space with a multi-story facade overhead.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight creating soft shadows and even illumination across metal and paving surfaces.
Atmosphere
Contrasting rusty warmth against cool charcoal steel and muted daylight.
Environmental context
Urban infill courtyard framed by renovated industrial or commercial structures.
Spatial experience
Movement from the covered walkway opens into a contained paved courtyard framed between contrasting organic metallic volumes and utilitarian circulation.
Composition rhythm
Vertical reveal joints punctuate the horizontal waves of the corten cladding, juxtaposed with the zig-zag rhythm of the metal escape stairs.
Style reading
Contemporary industrial adaptive reuse with organic metallic additions
