PLAT ASIA

Based in Beijing, PLAT ASIA conceives cultural centers and hot spring resorts by dissolving solid structural volumes into surrounding landscapes using glowing floating planes, dynamic louvered facades, and interior water courtyards. The work offers a precise reference when detailing cascading water features beside visitor circulation paths, integrating low seating platforms above stone gravel beds, or balancing deep interior footprints with sunlit circular gardens.

2026-鄂尔多斯市智能网联数字交通指挥中心(在建)

北京

An aerial and courtyard precedent for large-scale campus design featuring smooth curvilinear horizontal banding and central open-air courtyards.

What we like about this project
The seamless transition from an imposing dark urban footprint to an intimate, sun-drenched internal circular garden.

Geometry
Expansive curvilinear massing featuring central open courtyards and layered horizontal ribbon forms.
Facade system
Ribbon glazing alternating with solid bands and warm metal panels.
Structural guess
Steel frame with composite concrete slabs supporting long-span cantilevered curves.
Spatial scale
Massive multi-story campus scale with expansive footprint and wide vehicular drop-offs.
Lighting
Twilight exterior with warm perimeter interior lighting contrasting against dark urban surroundings; bright daylight filtering into the open circular courtyard.
Atmosphere
Futuristic and luminous in night aerial context, transitioning to serene and open in the sunlit interior courtyard.
Environmental context
Suburban site surrounded by trees, highway infrastructure, and distant city lights.
Spatial experience
The large-scale complex floats above a lit parking and approach grid, opening internally into circular sky-lit garden atriums.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal continuous banding layered vertically to emphasize streamlined movement across the campus footprint.
