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.

Geometry
C-shaped and linear wings wrap around a central paved courtyard, bounded by a canal on one side and streets on the other.
Facade system
Flat roof plates with continuous horizontal ribbon windows and recessed balconies.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete frame construction.
Spatial scale
Campus scale, approximately two to three stories in height, accommodating school facilities and outdoor play zones.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight casting crisp linear shadows from the building roof plates and surrounding trees.
Atmosphere
Clean, structured, and vibrant academic campus layout under clear daylight.
Environmental context
Urban waterfront site bordered by an adjacent canal on the west and vehicular asphalt roads on the east and north.
Spatial experience
From above, the layout organizes multiple programmatic zones—courtyards, sports fields, play equipment—into a tightly knit urban island.
Composition rhythm
Symmetrical and axial alignments offset by curved wing geometries and playful paving shapes.
Style reading
Contemporary institutional campus design
Program
Kindergarten or early childhood education campus
