Verse Design 建言建筑

Based in Shanghai, Verse Design produces civic, cultural, and resort architectures defined by floating gabled volumes, illuminated louvered plinths, and organic, village-like courtyard clusters. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing cantilevered screen facades beneath heavy roof planes or framing open landscape voids within dense, multi-wing campus environments.

Exterior dusk view of Verse Design hotel with a steep corrugated metal roof and glowing vertical louvered base over an elevated walkway.

宁波-江山万里野奢营地酒店

上海

An exterior dusk precedent for resort architecture combining a heavy gabled corrugated metal roof with a luminous louvered ground floor and warm timber pavilion connected by elevated walkways.

What we like about this project
The entire lower facade functions as a glowing light box behind vertical louvers, making the heavy gabled roof appear to float.

Geometry
Asymmetrical gabled volume with steep corrugated metal roof planes meets a lower, lighter pavilion structure connected via an elevated bridge and walkway.
Facade system
Vertical timber or metal louvers forming a screen wall below a solid corrugated metal-clad gable.
Structural guess
Steel frame and timber post-and-beam construction elevated on piers.
Spatial scale
Two-story scale for the main gabled volume, human scale along the elevated walkway and bridge.
Lighting
Twilight blue hour sky contrasted with warm interior illumination glowing through vertical louvers and illuminating timber roof structure.
Atmosphere
Serene and inviting, with a strong contrast between the cool twilight exterior and warm glowing interior spaces.
Environmental context
Rural or resort landscape setting with mature trees, hillside backdrop, and foreground lawn.
Spatial experience
Approaching from the dark lawn, the luminous louvered base acts as a glowing threshold guiding visitors along the elevated walkway toward the warm timber-framed pavilion.
Composition rhythm
Steady vertical rhythm of louvers along the lower wall contrasting with the continuous sweeping lines of the corrugated roof.
