goa大象设计

Based in Shanghai and Hangzhou, goa大象设计 shapes large-scale commercial and corporate architecture through fluid roof canopies, sculptural circulation bridges, and continuous curved geometries that soften the transition between urban grids and natural landscapes. This portfolio serves as a strong reference for detailing sweeping canopy soffits, integrating elevated pedestrian linkages across public retail plazas, and resolving volumetric scale shifts within corporate headquarters.

Exterior facade detail of Tianyang Hushian Lishe by goa大象设计 showing layered metal paneling, curved balconies, and a mansard roof.

天阳湖山丽舍

上海 / 杭州

An exterior architectural precedent by goa大象设计 demonstrating sophisticated material transition from solid base to metallic upper tiers and curved roof forms.

What we like about this project
The curved upper roof form integrates an extruded opening that softens the heavy mansard volume.

Geometry
Stepped multi-tier massing transitioning from a heavy masonry-clad lower base to metallic upper floors and a curved mansard roof profile.
Facade system
Composite facade featuring stone-clad lower levels, metallic panel upper walls, and glass balustrades.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete frame with suspended metal-edge balconies.
Spatial scale
Mid-rise residential building scale, focusing on upper balconies and roof expression.
Lighting
Direct, bright daylight casting sharp shadows across metallic reveals and glazed balustrades against a clear blue sky.
Atmosphere
Crisp, precise, and clean daytime mood highlighting clean lines and metallic textures.
Environmental context
Urban residential setting with foreground tree branches framing the upper levels.
Spatial experience
The layered facade articulates depth through recessed balconies, projecting slab edges, and overhead louvered shading elements.
Composition rhythm
Vertical structural bays intersected by horizontal floor bands and curved balcony railings.
