Exterior perspective of a multi-story commercial building with curving
北京
An exterior precedent showing layered, cantilevered white floor plates and curved continuous glazing for a corporate office building.
- What we like about this project
- The upper levels step back asymmetrically, creating dynamic overhangs at opposing corners.

- curvilinear
- ribbon-windows
- Geometry
- A stepped, tiered volume composed of horizontal cantilevered floor plates with rounded corners and continuous wrap-around glazing.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall system with continuous ribbon glass and expressed horizontal floor edge bands.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with cantilevered perimeter slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Four-story commercial scale relative to surrounding street width and light poles.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight creating soft reflections on the wet asphalt and glass facades.
- Atmosphere
- Sleek, cool, and cinematic under an overcast urban sky.
- Environmental context
- Urban intersection with multi-lane asphalt road, moving traffic blurred for motion, streetlights, and sparse roadside trees under a cloudy sky.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a dynamic, flowing silhouette from the street intersection, with continuous bands that draw the eye around the curving corners.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong horizontal stratification created by alternating white bands and dark glazing.
