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 double-height hall framed by heavy concrete structural columns, intersected by a curved glass-balustraded bridge on the mezzanine level.
Structural guess
Cast-in-place concrete frame with long-span curved bridge element
Spatial scale
Grand double-height volume; human scale anchored by ground-level seating and tables.
Lighting
Direct shafts of sunlight slice across the left columns and floor, contrasting with warm ambient lighting at the rear bar display.
Atmosphere
Moody, theatrical, and cavernous yet luminous.
Environmental context
Interior hospitality lounge and bar setting.
Spatial experience
A monumental, theatrical volume where heavy concrete surfaces are lightened by shafted sunlight and a soaring central bridge.
Composition rhythm
Symmetrical framing through massive foreground columns focusing the view onto the central bridge and bar.
