得当设计

Based in Shanghai, 得当设计 builds cultural pavilions and corporate workspaces defined by stark contrasts between historic masonry and crisp white plaster, moody entries opening to luminous sky-lit volumes, and expressive roof geometries. This collection serves as a strong reference when specifying civic reception halls and office interiors that weave stepped ceiling profiles, subtle gradient lighting, and inhabited rooftop viewing platforms into adaptive or contemporary shells.

Night exterior view of a narrow urban infill facade with a glowing perforated lower screen and open casement window above, by Detao Design.

好处|桃江荟”城市客厅改造

上海

A night-time exterior precedent for narrow urban infill facade transformation, using internal illumination behind a perforated ground screen and an open upper window to create a glowing street presence.

What we like about this project
Intricate tree shadow silhouettes cast sharply across the flat white facade by ambient street lighting.

Geometry
Symmetrical vertical slip infill between two existing masonry structures; upper casement window aligns centrally above a ground-level glowing perforated screen.
Facade system
Smooth rendered infill wall featuring a ground-level perforated metal shutter and an upper multi-pane steel casement window.
Structural guess
Infill masonry or steel frame structure wedged between existing party walls.
Spatial scale
Two-story narrow urban infill frontage matching the scale of neighboring historic lane buildings.
Lighting
Artificial interior illumination radiating outward through a perforated lower screen and an open upper casement window, casting dramatic tree branch shadows.
Atmosphere
Quiet, theatrical night ambiance created by interior light radiating through screens and casting tree shadows.
Environmental context
Urban street at night with stone-paved road, mature street trees, and adjacent historic or traditional low-rise buildings.
Spatial experience
The glowing facade acts as an urban lantern along the dark street edge, drawing the eye through perforated textures and glowing interior voids.
Composition rhythm
Strictly vertical composition anchored by central openings and framed by dark street trees.
Style reading
Contemporary urban intervention inserted into historic context
