星球建筑事务所 MARS Studio

Based in Beijing, 星球建筑事务所 MARS Studio juxtaposes raw structural contexts with sculpted geometric interventions, pairing shifting cantilevered volumes and stepped terraces with fluid, light-penetrated roof canopies across civic visitor centers, studio offices, and lounge spaces. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when designing organic overhead canopy structures above historic shells, integrating central skylight hubs into multi-wing plans, or articulating precise portal entryways within glazed pavilion facades.

Warm integrated LED strips illuminate the bar shelves and counter edge, complemented by downlights embedded within the ceiling baffles.
Atmosphere
Intimate, nocturnal, and enveloping due to the dark palette and warm sculptural ceiling.
Environmental context
Enclosed indoor hospitality space with dark finishes and muted walls.
Spatial experience
Low ambient lighting draws attention to the dramatic overhead wooden sculpture and the glowing bottle displays at the back.
Composition rhythm
Repetitive vertical timber slats form fluid, wave-like canopy bands overhead.
