必意建筑设计

Based in Shenzhen, 必意建筑设计 designs corporate headquarters, airport terminals, and mixed-use towers characterized by continuous grid modules across varying structural spans, scale-shifting facade patterns, and linear water features that align central entry courts. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when balancing dense tower massing against low-rise podiums or establishing axial landscape pathways to guide building approaches.

An exterior precedent for high-rise academic buildings utilizing a deep structural waffle grid facade and dramatic cantilevered massing.

What we like about this project
The upper tower and the cantilevered podium share the exact same dense grid module despite vastly different structural spans.

Geometry
A tall rectilinear tower intersected by a massive, cantilevered lower volume creating a dramatic horizontal-vertical dynamic.
Facade system
Deep exterior waffle or egg-crate brise-soleil structural grid enclosing glazed openings.
Structural guess
Steel truss or heavy concrete frame enabling the massive cantilevered volume.
Spatial scale
Massive high-rise scale; the cantilevered block spans multiple stories above the ground.
Lighting
Direct overcast daylight with soft directional sun casting gentle shadows across the deep facade grid.
Atmosphere
Cool, monumental, and mathematically precise under an expansive sky.
Environmental context
Industrial or urban development context with surrounding low structures and open paved ground.
Spatial experience
The imposing cantilever creates a dramatic sheltered threshold at the ground plane while the tower asserts a strong vertical presence.
Composition rhythm
A dense, uniform square grid pattern repeated across every elevation, creating intense visual texture.
