Kokaistudios

Based in Shanghai, Kokaistudios pairs dramatically sculpted exterior envelopes—ranging from faceted stone overhangs and louvered drums to exposed industrial framing—with layered interior environments defined by precise material thresholds, luminous internal courtyards, and elevated green terraces. This portfolio serves as a clear reference when resolving distinct material transitions at retail shopfronts, detailing complex geometric facades over structural glass, or integrating elevated public circulation into industrial heritage conversions and commercial headquarters.

An exterior facade precedent utilizing a continuous vertical louver screen over alternating convex and concave curves, creating a monumental corporate entrance.

What we like about this project
The central logo seamlessly anchors the convex drum's upper center without disrupting the louver rhythm.

Geometry
Symmetrical composition featuring a central convex curved drum flanked by symmetrical concave wings, all wrapped in a continuous vertical louver screen above a solid masonry base.
Facade system
Vertical metal louver curtain wall over a solid base with a glazed central lobby entrance.
Structural guess
Steel frame construction supporting a secondary louver support grid.
Spatial scale
Large-scale commercial or corporate headquarters frontage, approximately three stories high.
Lighting
Even, soft daylight under a clear blue sky, casting subtle shadows between vertical louvers.
Atmosphere
Clean, orderly, and monumental.
Environmental context
Open industrial or commercial park setting with a broad paved foreground and sparse perimeter landscaping.
Spatial experience
Approached axially across a wide paved courtyard; the projecting curved canopy marks the central entry portal.
Composition rhythm
Strictly spaced vertical louvers creating an unbroken rhythm across undulating curved planes.
