odd设计事务所

Based in Beijing, odd设计事务所 designs commercial pavilions, lounges, and cafes characterized by knife-edge rooflines, floating timber lattice structures, and softly backlit partitions that turn spatial enclosures into glowing atmospheric volumes. This portfolio serves as a strong reference for detailing indirect LED illumination within wooden screens, specifying double-skin polycarbonate envelopes, or organizing compact hospitality interiors around central courtyard cutouts and reflective focal points.
