XING DESIGN 行之建筑设计事务所

Based in Shanghai, XING DESIGN shapes research facilities and creative workspaces through structural contrast, balancing heavy concrete cores with slender suspended bridges, sculptural staircases, and deeply recessed ceiling gaps. This portfolio serves as a precise reference when detailing column-free circulation across multi-level interior volumes or carving vertical light slots directly into thick structural cores.

Vast underground transit concourse with flowing white organic columns and layered undulating ceiling baffles by XING DESIGN.

上海

An interior precedent for large-scale parametric transit architecture, utilizing organic column forms and layered ceiling baffles to transform a subterranean concourse into a fluid public space.

What we like about this project
The ceiling fins alternate with dark recessed shadow gaps, giving the upper volume unexpected depth.

Geometry
Expansive subterranean hall organized by a repeating colonnade of organic, flared white columns supporting an undulating, layered ceiling plane.
Structural guess
Heavy structural frame clad in curved architectural shells or glass-fiber reinforced concrete forms.
Spatial scale
Grand public scale; high ceilings with wide-spanning structural bays accommodating heavy commuter flow.
Lighting
Recessed downlights embedded flush within the smooth ceiling soffits and columns provide bright, even artificial illumination.
Atmosphere
Bright, clean, and futuristic, softening the subterranean environment through fluid curves.
Environmental context
Deep underground transit station concourse with polished stone floors and distant platform entries.
Spatial experience
Moving through the broad hall feels fluid and dynamic, guided by the continuous rhythmic sweep of the ceiling fins and sculpted columns.
Composition rhythm
Rhythmic perspective recession created by the repeating colonnade and longitudinal ceiling louvers.
