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.

Exterior and interior construction views of a timber diagrid roof structure by TEKTONN ARCHITECTS for a civic center.

成都

A civic center precedent showcasing an intricate interlocking timber roof diagrid that merges traditional vernacular roof forms with contemporary structural expression.

What we like about this project
The complex interlocking geometry of the roof structure creates diamond-shaped voids that frame the sky from underneath.

Geometry
An interlocking geometric timber roof system featuring repeating diagrid gables creates a layered, rhythmic horizontal profile across the building volume.
Facade system
Open timber framing with glazed infill and deep overhangs.
Structural guess
Glulam timber portal frames and diagrid roof beams supported by steel columns.
Spatial scale
Low-rise pavilion scale, with human figures providing scale reference in both exterior and interior shots.
Lighting
Warm morning or late afternoon sunlight highlights the timber grain and casts angled shadows through the interlocking roof framing.
Atmosphere
Warm, open, and craft-oriented, defined by the rhythmic repetition of exposed wood and filtered light.
Environmental context
Set within a developing landscaped site with surrounding vernacular architecture visible on the left.
Spatial experience
The multi-gabled roof canopy provides a porous, shaded threshold between the exterior landscape and interior civic spaces.
Composition rhythm
Rhythmic sawtooth/gabled repetition across both elevation and interior ceiling planes.
