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.

北京

A striking civic pavilion precedent showcasing a sweeping hyperbolic roof form suspended over a reflective lake, ideal for studying dramatic roof geometry and night lighting.

What we like about this project
The dramatic dip in the central roofline creates a floating outdoor viewing deck open to the sky and water below.

Geometry
Symmetrical dual-wing massing connected by a low central bridge, featuring a hyperbolic parabolic roofline that dips dramatically in the center.
Facade system
Full-height structural glass curtain wall paired with metal panel cladding on the upward-sweeping roof soffits.
Structural guess
Steel space frame or cantilevered trusses supporting the sweeping double-curved roof.
Spatial scale
Large public or civic scale, spanning two to three visible stories above the water podium.
Lighting
Cool twilight sky with warm interior illumination glowing through expansive glass curtain walls and casting reflections on the water.
Atmosphere
Serene and monumental, balanced by the warm glow of populated interiors against a dark twilight landscape.
Environmental context
Set on an expansive reflective water body surrounded by dark low-rise treelines and open landscape at dusk.
Spatial experience
The building hovers over water, creating a grand horizontal vista framed by illuminated interior levels and a central open terrace.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal symmetry anchored by vertical glass mullions and mirrored reflections in the foreground water.
