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.

Geometry
Rectilinear single-volume mass with a crisp cantilevered canopy projecting from the main glass entrance portal.
Facade system
Multi-wall translucent polycarbonate panel system with a central glazed opening.
Structural guess
Steel frame structure supporting lightweight curtain wall and cladding elements.
Spatial scale
Two-story scale, pedestrian-focused entry sequence.
Lighting
Twilight or overcast ambient daylight mixed with internal linear illumination, making the translucent facade glow uniformly.
Atmosphere
Ethereal, luminous, and clean against an overcast urban sky.
Environmental context
Urban sidewalk edge with overhead power lines and adjacent white boundary wall.
Spatial experience
Approaching via a paved gravel path flanked by low planting, the building presents as a glowing translucent box.
Composition rhythm
Vertical channel joints in the translucent cladding organize the envelope facade.
