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.
