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 dense urban street corridor spanned by a pedestrian bridge, flanked by high-rise residential towers by goa大象设计.

Residential

An aerial urban precedent showing a multi-lane roadway bridged by a pedestrian connection, surrounded by structured high-rise residential towers.

What we like about this project
The slender, dark metallic pedestrian bridge dramatically slices across the wide avenue to link development blocks directly at mid-level.

Geometry
An elevated pedestrian bridge spans a multi-lane urban thoroughfare, framed by mid-to-high-rise residential blocks with orthogonal grids and vertical window modules.
Facade system
Precast or curtain wall assemblies with regular punched window bands and vertical mullion profiles.
Structural guess
Steel truss pedestrian bridge connecting reinforced concrete high-rise tower structures.
Spatial scale
Large-scale urban context featuring multi-story residential blocks and a broad multi-lane roadway.
Lighting
Soft late-afternoon or early-morning ambient daylight with subtle gradients across the building facades.
Atmosphere
Calm, early-light urban scale study emphasizing connectivity and massing density.
Environmental context
Dense urban environment with multistory residential towers, vehicular traffic corridor, and scattered mature tree canopies.
Spatial experience
A dense urban fabric where connective infrastructural elements bridge between tall living blocks over a busy multi-lane street.
Composition rhythm
Repeating vertical window mullions on the towers create a steady rhythm flanking the central traffic and bridge axis.
