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.

A striking detail precedent for dichroic glass fin assemblies that leverage ambient daylight to produce vibrant chromatic shifts and optical depth on building envelopes.

What we like about this project
The glass panels display intensely saturated magenta and cyan hues simultaneously due to light interference.

Geometry
Stacked, offset rectangular panels project orthogonally from a dark vertical frame, creating an overlapping layered composition against the sky.
Facade system
Glass fin and louver attachment system fixed to dark structural mullions.
Structural guess
Steel or aluminum structural subframe supporting cantilevered glass fins.
Spatial scale
Human scale close-up detail; individual glass fins measure roughly one to two meters across.
Lighting
Backlit by an overcast, bright sky, causing the dichroic glass panels to glow with vibrant magenta, cyan, and gold interference colors.
Atmosphere
Ethereal and luminous, with glowing prismatic colors contrasting against a dark structural skeleton.
Environmental context
Outdoor architectural installation or building facade viewed from a low angle against a cloudy daylight sky.
Spatial experience
The facade dissolves into a playful interplay of light and chromatic shifts, creating a dynamic surface that changes appearance with viewing angles.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetric, stepped cantilever rhythm of rectangular planes protruding outward.
Style reading
Contemporary parametric chromaticism
