Pininfarina

Headquartered across Turin, Munich, and Miami, Pininfarina translates aerodynamic vehicle styling into architecture through sweeping, inward-curving rooflines, floating cantilevered volumes, and continuous perimeter cove lighting embedded along exterior slab edges. This collection provides a direct reference when detailing continuous edge lighting along fluid floor plates, integrating cantilevered viewing platforms into marine superstructures, or balancing technical testing apparatuses with warm interior materials.

Exterior facade detail of a multi-story modern building with undulating curved floor slabs and integrated perimeter strip lighting by Pininfarina.

A striking exterior facade precedent showcasing organic, undulating floor slabs paired with continuous perimeter lighting and floor-to-ceiling glazing.

What we like about this project
Linear lighting channels seamlessly trace the entire perimeter of the sweeping slab edges.

Geometry
Stacked horizontal floor slabs with fluid, sweeping edge curves and deep recessed floor-to-ceiling glass volumes behind glass balustrades.
Facade system
Curtain wall glazing paired with cantilevered structural floor slabs and glass railings.
Structural guess
Cantilevered concrete or steel-framed floor plates
Spatial scale
Multi-story commercial or residential development viewed from a low-angle perspective.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight under a clear blue sky, complemented by warm linear architectural strip lighting recessed into the slab overhangs.
Atmosphere
Sleek, futuristic, and luminous against a clean sky.
Environmental context
Clear blue sky background; abstract context highlighting upper floors and roof canopy overhang.
Spatial experience
Continuous wrap-around balconies blur interior and exterior thresholds while emphasizing horizontal layering.
Composition rhythm
Strong horizontal stacking emphasized by continuous lighting channels and sweeping edge contours.
