Specification

Curved Concrete Facades with Intersecting Structural Arches

A rhythmic sequence of structural concrete arches forms a gently curved two-story building envelope, integrating steel-framed glazing directly into the load-bearing facade wall. At twilight, warm interior illumination glows through the deep glazed apertures, dissolving the boundary between the internal vaulted library spaces and the surrounding campus landscape.

Composite view of the waterfront yacht station in Shanghai featuring curved glass pavilions, floating docks, and skyline backdrop.

北外滩游艇驿站

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.
