维思平WSP

Based in Beijing, 维思平WSP defines its corporate research campuses and civic exhibition spaces through expressive cantilevered prows, folding roof geometries that carve open-air courtyards, and sharp contrasts between heavy masonry and lightweight diagrid canopies. When detailing expansive civic or corporate facilities, these precedents offer precise references for introducing daylight into deep floorplates via distributed roof skylights, executing daring structural overhangs, and anchoring rigid office blocks with fluid, wood-detailed pavilions.

High aerial rendering of a large low-rise complex with an undulating folded roof next to a lake by 维思平WSP.

An aerial rendering precedent showing a large lakeside complex crowned by a sweeping, pleated canopy roof that unifies multi-wing programmatic volumes.

What we like about this project
The roof geometry twists and folds inward to carve open-air courtyards within the massive footprint.

Geometry
Low-rise sprawling complex centered around internal courtyards, capped by a dramatic, folded undulating canopy roof.
Facade system
Glazed curtain wall protected beneath the deep overhangs of the folded roof canopy.
Structural guess
Long-span steel truss framework supporting the folded umbrella-like roof system.
Spatial scale
Large-scale hospitality or civic complex, spanning multiple acres with a prominent horizontal footprint.
Lighting
Golden hour sunlight from a low sun behind mountain ridges, casting bright highlights on folded roof ridges and long soft shadows.
Atmosphere
Expansive, serene lakeside setting juxtaposed with grand architectural gestures under a glowing sunset.
Environmental context
A scenic lakeside site adjacent to extensive water bodies, distant mountains, and an urban roadway edge with dense tree planting.
Spatial experience
The building sits as a massive horizontal pavilion bridging between urban roadway and expansive natural lakefront.
Composition rhythm
Repeating folds across the massive roof canopy creating sharp directional diagonals toward the water.
