雁飞建筑事务所 Yanfei architects

Based in Shanghai, 雁飞建筑事务所 Yanfei architects pairs dramatic structural scale—from multi-bay curved roof geometries to suspended ribs—with surreal optical maneuvers using reflective surfaces, floating light bands, and graphic perspective anchors across exhibition spaces and municipal halls. This work serves as a strong reference when detailing large-span overhead structures within local contexts or calibrating light and spatial depth for immersive installation environments.

A storefront and installation precedent by Yanfei Architects showcasing the contrast between heavy textured stone, corrugated metal, and a vibrant red stretched mesh element.

What we like about this project
The circular penetration in the red mesh creates a trompe l'oeil depth effect.
