NAN建筑事务所

Based in Shanghai, NAN Architects produces creative offices, R&D facilities, and exhibition pavilions marked by expressive structural geometries, combining branching piers, pinched facades, and rotated volumes with stark transitions between perforated brick and lightweight glass gables. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing sculptural external circulation, configuring expressively tapered structural supports, or resolving tectonic shifts between solid masonry and soaring glazed enclosures.

Large industrial or park building with a curved metal stair tower and perforated metal facade by NAN建筑事务所 in Shanghai.

上海临港纳米园-_调整大小

上海

A contemporary industrial park building featuring a striking curved circulation tower and a rhythmic metal panel facade, useful for precedents in large-scale functional architecture.

What we like about this project
The smooth, flowing cylinder of the external stair core contrasts sharply with the sharp orthogonal edges of the main volume.

Geometry
Rectangular industrial massing featuring a prominent rounded vertical circulation core and continuous panelized wall systems.
Facade system
Metallic panel cladding combined with perforated metal screen sections and a rounded stair tower.
Structural guess
Steel frame with composite metal cladding and concrete foundations.
Spatial scale
Multi-story industrial scale, towering over the foreground roadway and small perimeter landscaping.
Lighting
Bright, direct daylight casting sharp shadows and highlighting the metallic sheen of the facade panels.
Atmosphere
Crisp, clean, and corporate, emphasizing efficiency and geometric precision.
Environmental context
Industrial park setting with wide paved roads, young street trees, and similar large-scale neighboring structures under a clear blue sky.
Spatial experience
Approaching from the asphalt service courtyard, the building presents a monumental, clean-lined facade with distinct functional zones.
Composition rhythm
Vertical panel seams and horizontal window bands set up a steady, modular rhythm across the long facade.
