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.

Aerial view of a large industrial or exhibition building with a sweeping gabled roof by goa大象设计.

Office

An aerial precedent for large-scale industrial or exhibition architecture featuring an expansive modular roof system and integrated daylight monitors.

What we like about this project
The sheer scale of the continuous roof plane makes surrounding high-rises appear compact by comparison.

Geometry
Expansive low-slung horizontal volume featuring a massive modular gabled roof system, set within an urban or industrial context near high-rise towers.
Facade system
Low perimeter walls beneath a prominent overhanging roof edge.
Structural guess
Long-span steel truss framework supporting a modular gabled roof
Spatial scale
Massive building scale dwarfing surrounding vehicular roads and nearby trees.
Lighting
Warm sunset or sunrise low-angle sunlight creating strong linear highlights across the roof monitors and long shadows on the ground.
Atmosphere
Expansive and calm under the low evening light, emphasizing the massive footprint of the roof.
Environmental context
Suburban or fringe-urban setting with adjacent multi-story residential towers, industrial warehouses, and distant mountain ranges.
Spatial experience
The vast scale of the single massive roof plane dominates the visual field, anchoring the surrounding urban fabric and transportation corridors.
Composition rhythm
Repetitive linear ridge monitors across the roof plane create a tight, highly ordered horizontal rhythm.
