RC Site
An exterior facade precedent showing a glass-walled pavilion with a deep cantilevered canopy, connecting corporate office spaces directly to an airfield.
- What we like about this project

- Geometry
- Low-slung rectilinear volume featuring an expansive floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall beneath a heavy, cantilevered dark fascia canopy.
- Facade system
- Aluminum-framed structural glass curtain wall paired with dark composite metal panel fascia.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with cantilevered roof canopy and non-loadbearing glass curtain wall.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story low-rise building scale, intimate entrance leading into expansive hangar volumes beyond.
- Lighting
- Dusk sky with warm interior illumination glowing through the curtain wall, supplemented by recessed soffit downlights.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, professional evening ambiance with a warm glow welcoming visitors from the airfield.
- Environmental context
- Open airfield site with grass lawn in the foreground and a vintage airplane visible on the tarmac.
- Spatial experience
- Approach moves from open landscape and concrete walkway into a brightly lit interior lounge opening directly toward an aviation hangar.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical mullions establish a steady rhythm along the glass facade, contrasted by the strong horizontal lines of the roof canopy.
