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.

Interior spatial view of a multi-level white residence with a sculptural curved copper stair by HCCH Studio in Shanghai.

An interior precedent for using a sculptural, curved metal stair as the central organizing element in a bright, white multi-level residential space.

What we like about this project
The continuous ribbon-like sweep of the stair balustrade completely hides the structural support.

Geometry
Open-plan multi-level layout anchored by a central sculptural curved stair connecting split levels under white plaster and light timber flooring.
Structural guess
Steel or concrete floor plates with internal non-structural partitions.
Spatial scale
Domestic multi-level scale; double-height voids and generous stair width provide a monumental feel within a residential footprint.
Lighting
Bright diffused daylight washes across white plaster walls, creating crisp shadows and warm highlights on the curved copper or rusted metal stair surface.
Atmosphere
Clean, luminous, and serene with a dramatic metallic focal point.
Environmental context
Interior residential space with glimpses of exterior greenery and natural light entering through upper clerestories and punched windows.
Spatial experience
The viewer moves through interconnected white volumes where the curved metal stair acts as a centrifugal focal point drawing the eye upward and across levels.
Composition rhythm
Dynamic diagonal sweeps of the stair contrast against a rigid rectilinear grid of white walls and floors.
Style reading
Contemporary minimalist residential interior with sculptural focus
