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 high-rise residential towers with illuminated crowns and curtain wall facades in Wuhan by goa大象设计.

华润武汉瑞府

上海 / 杭州

An aerial precedent of a high-rise residential cluster featuring stepped roof profiles and integrated crown illumination, useful for dense urban skyline studies.

What we like about this project
The glowing horizontal soffit bands beneath each tower crown create a floating roof effect against the twilight sky.

Geometry
Multiple slender towers of varying heights step down, featuring rectilinear footprints with articulated vertical corner piers and distinctive illuminated crown caps.
Facade system
Unitized glass curtain wall with white vertical fins and opaque spandrel banding.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete core and outrigger frame construction suitable for high-rise residential towers.
Spatial scale
Large-scale urban residential high-rises soaring dozens of stories above neighboring context.
Lighting
Twilight/dusk ambient light complemented by integrated linear soffit lighting and internal window glows that highlight the crown details.
Atmosphere
Serene and orderly twilight atmosphere emphasizing verticality and luminous crown articulation.
Environmental context
Dense metropolitan high-rise urban fabric stretching toward the horizon under a pale evening sky.
Spatial experience
The composition creates a dense urban skyline cluster where stepped tower heights establish a dynamic, hierarchical skyline silhouette.
Composition rhythm
Repeating horizontal window spandrels contrasted by continuous vertical white mullions and corner piers.
