上海继电器厂园区改造-2

An aerial view of an industrial campus renovation by HCCH Studio featuring curved facade louvers for solar control and rooftop photovoltaic panels.
- What we like about this project
- Individual curved louver shades sweep smoothly outward from each window opening to deflect direct sunlight.

- industrial-retrofit
- campus-architecture
- Geometry
- An articulated linear volume featuring a prominent facade screen with curved louvers on one elevation, contrasted against a solid, large-format panel-clad end block.
- Facade system
- Curved metal louvers operating as external sun-shading screens alongside large-format flat panel cladding.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with non-loadbearing exterior cladding and retrofit sun-shading additions.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story institutional or commercial building scale, roughly four to five stories high.
- Lighting
- Late afternoon or early morning low-angle sunlight casting strong diagonal shadows across the curved louver facade system.
- Atmosphere
- Clear, precise architectural character emphasizing technical performance and retrofit transformation.
- Environmental context
- Urban or industrial retrofitted campus setting with mature trees, parking areas, and surrounding mid-rise residential blocks.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a controlled institutional front to the surrounding urban landscape, with rhythmic shading elements modulating the side elevation.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating curved window-shade modules create a strong vertical and horizontal texture along the upper floors.
- Style reading
- Contemporary industrial retrofit with integrated solar shading
- Program
- Commercial office, laboratory, or industrial research facility
