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.

Geometry
Symmetrical central room flanked by glazed partitions with angled overhead ceiling planes converging toward a central track and service zone.
Structural guess
Concrete floor slab with suspended steel and track support framing for kinetic elements.
Spatial scale
Medium classroom scale, intimate ceiling height accentuated by central motorized ceiling apparatus.
Lighting
Integrated linear fixtures wash the angled panels while directional track lights illuminate the exposed ceiling utilities.
Atmosphere
Technical, precise, and controlled, blending industrial concrete rawness with engineered kinetic refinement.
Environmental context
Interior adaptive reuse space with visible structural slab and glazing framing adjacent corridors.
Spatial experience
A compressed yet highly organized chamber where mechanical elements overhead contrast with warm angled acoustic surfaces.
Composition rhythm
Symmetrical one-point perspective featuring parallel glazed walls and a central ceiling spine.
Style reading
Industrial high-tech adaptive reuse
Program
University motorized classroom / lecture hall
