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.

Massive corporate atrium with red brick facades, grand wooden stairs, and a sprawling diagrid glass roof supported by white branching columns by 维思平WSP in Beijing.

北京

A corporate headquarters atrium precedent showcasing how a massive structural diagrid roof and branching columns can unite traditional heavy brick perimeter volumes into a luminous interior public realm.

What we like about this project
The juxtaposition of heavy, historic-feeling red brick warehouse aesthetics with a high-tech, lightweight aerospace-grade diagrid roof canopy.

Geometry
Vast multi-story enclosed atrium flanked by symmetrical red-brick facades with punched arched window rhythms, spanned overhead by a monumental diagrid glass roof resting on slender branching steel columns.
Facade system
Internal red-brick cavity walls with punched arched and rectangular windows framing perimeter office spaces.
Structural guess
Heavy steel diagrid roof canopy supported on multi-branching tubular steel tree columns, with surrounding concrete and steel-framed floor plates clad in brick.
Spatial scale
Monumental scale; the multi-story brick facades and towering branching columns dwarf human figures, creating a civic public plaza atmosphere indoors.
Lighting
Bright diffused daylight floods downwards through the large glazed diagrid roof, supplemented by warm interior lighting washing the brick arches and central steps.
Atmosphere
Expansive, luminous, and grand; bridging the feeling of an outdoor urban plaza with the shelter of an indoor hall.
Environmental context
Indoor corporate campus atrium space enclosing multiple levels of workspace facades beneath a protected climatic envelope.
Spatial experience
Expanse of the grand ground hall opens dramatically upward, framed by heavy brick perimeter walls that contrast with the lightweight, soaring transparency of the overhead roof canopy.
Composition rhythm
Symmetrical central axis defined by the grand stairs, flanked by regular vertical bay repeats of punched brick arches and windows.
