天仝建筑 TEKTONN ARCHITECTS

Based in Chengdu, TEKTONN ARCHITECTS shapes civic service centers, commercial workspaces, and public plaza environments through expressive geometric tectonics, where deep screening facades transition into undulating ceiling ribs and vivid, faceted soffits frame multi-story internal voids. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing continuous exterior-to-interior fin assemblies, integrating pocket gardens within multi-level circulation cuts, or balancing solar shading screens with daylighting in public and office projects.

Geometry
Rectangular upper mass clad in vertical metal fins sits atop a transparent floor-to-ceiling glass storefront.
Facade system
Curtain wall glass on the ground floor with vertical metal louver rainscreen above.
Structural guess
Steel frame with suspended ceiling baffle system.
Spatial scale
Human scale ground level with a two-story total composition.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight on the exterior facade with strong cast shadows; interior is illuminated by soft ambient ceiling washes and daylight through full-height glazing.
Atmosphere
Sophisticated and crisp, contrasting dark metallic elements with bright daylight.
Environmental context
Urban public plaza with outdoor seating, parasols, and surrounding pedestrian pathways.
Spatial experience
The exterior plaza frames a rhythmic, dark-clad upper volume that transitions inward into a dramatic vaulted ceiling sequence.
Composition rhythm
Strong vertical fin spacing on the exterior echoing the rhythmic vaulted ceiling modules inside.
