合尘建筑 HCCH STUDIO

Based in Shanghai, HCCH STUDIO establishes a distinct tectonic language marked by expressive geometric openings and layered material shifts, inserting transparent gables, fluted concrete columns, and sweeping roof cutouts within heavy masonry and industrial shells. The portfolio serves as a clear visual reference when detailing adaptive insertions that nest modern glazed volumes into historic brickwork, or when integrating custom shading louvers, built-in timber joinery, and fluid balcony profiles across coastal towers and research facilities.

Exterior view of a low pavilion with a stacked timber louver roof set among tall grass by HCCH Studio.

重庆麓溪湖剧场-2

上海

An exterior precedent for a low-slung cultural pavilion utilizing stacked timber roof elements and slender supports to merge architecture with a wild grassland landscape.

What we like about this project
The roof elements step and overlap in stacked layers rather than forming a single continuous plane.

Geometry
Low-slung horizontal pavilion featuring overlapping, slightly curved timber louver roof planes supported by slender slanted steel columns.
Facade system
Full-height glass curtain wall set beneath a deep overhanging louvered timber roof.
Structural guess
Slender steel columns supporting primary timber beams and a secondary louvered roof deck.
Spatial scale
Single-story pavilion at a human scale, integrated intimately into the surrounding landscape.
Lighting
Soft, overcast daylight casting gentle shadows across the timber roof elements and tall grass.
Atmosphere
Quiet and contemplative, blending heavy timber textures with open landscape views.
Environmental context
Open rural or park setting surrounded by tall native grass, mature trees, and distant rolling hills under a hazy sky.
Spatial experience
The building sits low within the tall meadow grass, framing landscape views through transparent glass walls beneath a heavy timber canopy.
Composition rhythm
Repeating parallel timber beams forming a staggered canopy rhythm across the roofline.
