未/WAY Studio建筑设计研究所

Based in Beijing, WAY Studio designs resort visitor centers, commercial tower plazas, and creative office spaces through cantilevered upper volumes, carved terrace voids, and atmospheric lighting strategies that soften heavy architectural forms. The portfolio offers a targeted reference when detailing refractive glass facades over glazed ground levels, specifying perimeter uplighting to visually lift interior walls, or integrating water cascades and living flora directly into structural envelopes.

Geometry
Organic, undulating floor plates step back in a terraced fashion, forming a rounded, multi-tiered massing.
Facade system
Curved continuous glass curtain wall with recessed balcony lines.
Structural guess
Cantilevering floor slabs supported by perimeter columns and core walls.
Spatial scale
A mid-rise multi-story complex dwarfing the surrounding landscape elements while maintaining human-scaled entry bridges.
Lighting
Internal artificial warm lighting glows through the curved glazing, mirrored by reflections on the dark water surface below.
Atmosphere
Serene, luminous, and contemplative against the dark mountainous backdrop.
Environmental context
Dark natural landscape with a foreground reflecting pond, surrounding hills, and distant vegetation under a night sky.
Spatial experience
The illuminated organic form glows across the water, creating a welcoming destination visible from across the dark landscape.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal stacked bands created by continuous floor edge ribbons and glazing.
