九米设计

Based in Hangzhou, 九米设计 designs civic courtyards, corporate receptions, and high-rise towers defined by a dialogue between classical axial proportions and crisp modern materiality, combining fluted colonnades and fan-patterned arch infills with broad rooflines and textured spandrels. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when resolving plinthless column thresholds in water basins, specifying concrete feature walls for reception spaces, or detailing rhythmic spandrel bands against glass facades.

Symmetrical architectural elevation featuring monumental arched openings framing a curved colonnade, dark bronze horse sculpture, and topiary planters by Nine Meters Design.

Geometry
Symmetrical composition structured around three monumental arched openings with fluted piers, framing a secondary curving fluted wall behind.
Facade system
Heavy stone cladding with deep-set structural arches and patterned green tile infill panels.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete frame clad in stone with large masonry or precast arches.
Spatial scale
Monumental scale; arches span multiple stories with human figures scaled down against the massive architecture.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight casting crisp vertical shadows down fluted columns and recessed arches.
Atmosphere
Formal, serene, and theatrical, underscored by strong shadow lines and sculptural stillness.
Environmental context
Open plaza or formal courtyard setting with clear sky framing the architectural elements.
Spatial experience
Grounded by stepped stone platforms leading up to a grand threshold framed by massive arches and framed vistas.
Composition rhythm
Strict bilateral symmetry punctuated by vertical fluting on columns and rear wall panels.
Style reading
Neo-classical monumentalism with refined contemporary detailing
