零壹城市建筑事务所/LYCS Architecture

Based in Hangzhou, LYCS Architecture crafts commercial headquarters and boutique hospitality environments characterized by fluid tectonic transitions, where undulating rooflines, mullion-free curved glazing, and elevated volumes on angled supports break conventional structural grids. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing continuous envelope-to-vault transitions, specifying jointless glass corners, or balancing crisp metallic elements against historic timber and stone frameworks.

An exterior precedent for curvilinear civic architecture featuring interlocking metallic shingle cladding and continuous ribbon glazing.

What we like about this project
The smooth transition where the roof shingle cladding wraps continuously down into the vertical facade profile.

Geometry
Curvilinear low-rise volumes featuring sweeping, rounded roof and wall transitions wrapped in interlocking metal shingle panels.
Facade system
Curtain wall glazing at ground level topped by a custom interlocking metal shingle rainscreen system.
Structural guess
Steel space frame or reinforced concrete frame supporting large cantilevered roof and curved parapets.
Spatial scale
Two-story civic scale; pedestrians in the foreground emphasize the expansive length of the curved facade.
Lighting
Bright midday direct sunlight creating crisp highlights across the metallic shingles and sharp shadows beneath overhangs.
Atmosphere
Clean, bright, and expansive under a clear sky.
Environmental context
Open suburban or park site with paved roadways, parking markings, and scattered native tree planting.
Spatial experience
Approached across an open parking and paved forecourt, the building presents a low, continuous horizontal silhouette with grounded, organic curves.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal stratification of lower glass band, warm soffit line, and rhythmic interlocking shingle units above.
