PROJECT普罗建筑

Based in Beijing, PROJECT普罗建筑 shapes cultural galleries, exhibition centers, and studio spaces through expressive volumetric interventions, contrasting heavy board-marked concrete and delicate screening with bold geometric cuts and stepped clerestory rooflines. This work serves as a strong precedent when detailing stepped sawtooth roofs for balanced daylighting, integrating flush water channels into public walkways, or inserting contrasting vaulted volumes within multi-level cultural facilities.

An exterior precedent showcasing a diverse assembly of architectural volumes—stone base, dark barrel vault, and glazed steel pavilion—tailored for a scenic roadside site.

What we like about this project
The prominent dark barrel-vaulted volume interrupts the orthogonal stone and steel language, creating a strong focal point.

Geometry
Low-slung compound combining a stone-clad base block, a dark curved barrel-vaulted volume, and an elevated steel-and-glass pavilion set against rolling hills.
Facade system
Combination of dry-stacked stone cladding, dark curved metal or concrete vault, and curtain wall glazing.
Structural guess
Steel frame superstructure with concrete shear elements and masonry base walls.
Spatial scale
Two to three-story multi-volume complex scaled relative to passing street traffic and pedestrian figures.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight casting soft shadows and highlighting the texture of the stone base and dark barrel vault.
Atmosphere
Serene yet structured, balancing heavy geological forms with light transparency amid greenery.
Environmental context
Suburban roadside location with mountainous forested terrain visible in the background.
Spatial experience
The street-facing frontage presents a sequence of distinct volumes buffered by mature trees and a formal wall sign, shifting from solid stone to curved mass to open transparency.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal stratification broken by the strong verticality of trees and the curved rhythm of the central vault.
