MAT 超级建筑事务所

Based in Beijing, MAT 超级建筑事务所 structures its cultural, corporate, and coastal public facilities around dramatic volumetric cantilevers, sweeping roof geometries, and expressive structural elements that contrast solid massing with transparent glass connectors. This portfolio serves as a direct reference when detailing suspended overhangs above public thoroughfares, integrating rhythmic leaning supports into glass curtain walls, or articulating complex roof transitions that frame light-filled courtyards.

Large multi-story interior lobby with massive concrete columns, suspended metallic volume, and floor-to-ceiling curtain wall glazing by MAT 超级建筑事务所.

A corporate R&D lobby precedent showcasing monumental concrete structural elements paired with a suspended metallic volume and expansive curtain wall glazing.

What we like about this project
A massive, cantilevered box hovers directly over the main thoroughfare, creating an enclosed spatial ceiling fitted with linear lighting.

Geometry
Monumental multi-height volume with a heavy suspended rectangular volume and massive structural grid columns supporting deep overhead beams.
Facade system
Full-height structural glass curtain wall with vertical metallic framing and sloped mullions.
Structural guess
Heavy reinforced concrete frame with large-span post-tensioned overhead beams and steel curtain wall framing.
Spatial scale
Grand monumental scale spanning multiple building levels with human figures appearing small relative to the massive columns and height.
Lighting
Diffused daylight enters through tall curtain walls and sloped glazing, supplemented by linear recessed fixtures under soffits and downlights on the upper ceiling.
Atmosphere
Cool, restrained, and commanding, defined by exposed concrete surfaces and expansive glass.
Environmental context
Indoor corporate R&D lobby with exterior trees and landscaping visible through the full-height glazing.
Spatial experience
A vast, monumental atrium scale gives way to more intimate under-croft seating zones beneath the suspended metallic volume.
Composition rhythm
Heavy vertical columns and diagonal facade mullions create a strong rhythmic grid contrasted by the horizontal band of the suspended white volume.
