02_横岭水质净化厂改造设计
上海
An industrial water purification plant renovation precedent demonstrating how a lightweight louvered facade and reflective pond soften large utilitarian volumes.
- What we like about this project
- The crisp alignment of the diagonal bridge truss perfectly mirrors into the calm foreground pool.

Visual tags
- industrial
- waterfront
- facade-renovation
- infrastructure
- reflective-pool
- Geometry
- Low, horizontal industrial massing fronted by a calm rectangular retention pond and a diagonal white truss footbridge.
- Facade system
- Vertical white metal louvers or perforated screen panels mounted over a dark ground-level base.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame or concrete industrial shed with lightweight curtain wall and screen additions.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale industrial water treatment facility with a long horizontal profile across the water's edge.
- Lighting
- Twilight or overcast evening light casting soft hues across the sky and creating crisp reflections in the water below.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, serene industrial ecology blending infrastructure with landscape and water.
- Environmental context
- Suburban industrial infrastructure site backed by a dense green hillside forest.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across open water and bridge infrastructure, the heavy industrial mass is lightened by a rhythmic louvered upper screen.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical louver fins create a steady rhythm across the upper facade, echoed by the diagonal pattern of the footbridge railing.
