上海
A waterfront yacht station precedent featuring curved glass pavilions and sleek horizontal rooflines that integrate public promenade space with marine infrastructure.
- What we like about this project
- Continuous integrated LED strip lighting along the curved canopy edge mimics the fluidity of the waterfront context.

- Geometry
- Multi-pane composite photograph showing overall waterfront context alongside low-rise curved pavilions with continuous horizontal banding and expansive glazing.
- Facade system
- Curved structural glazing with slender metallic framing and continuous projecting canopy lines.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with cantilevered floor slabs and column-free curved glass corners.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled waterfront promenade and two-story pavilions contrasting with surrounding high-rise density.
- Lighting
- Twilight and overcast daylight conditions with illuminated interior spaces and integrated facade edge lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Sleek, luminous, and calm evening atmosphere bridging urban density and active river life.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban waterfront setting along a major river with high-rise towers in the background and docking facilities for yachts in the foreground.
- Spatial experience
- The architecture ties the active riverfront promenade to low-slung, transparent pavilions that frame views of both yachts and the distant city skyline.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal layering defined by water level, wooden decking, continuous glass walls, and projecting curved roof overhangs.
