An exterior precedent for modern corporate R&D facilities featuring a curved perforated facade screen and a striking circular drop-off canopy.
- What we like about this project
- The integrated continuous light strip tracing the entire perimeter of the curved drop-off canopy creates a floating halo effect.

- Geometry
- Curved building massing fronted by a large, sweeping circular drop-off canopy and a layered multi-story perforated screen facade.
- Facade system
- Double-layer facade featuring an outer perforated metal screen with varied dot-pattern cutouts and an inner glazed curtain wall.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame canopy with central support column; main building utilizes reinforced concrete structure with a suspended metal screen subframe.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story corporate headquarters scale with a human-scaled vehicular drop-off zone.
- Lighting
- Twilight/dusk lighting conditions with warm interior glow, perimeter lighting under the circular canopy, and subtle uplighting on water features.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, luminous, and welcoming corporate entrance with sophisticated lighting details.
- Environmental context
- Urban office park setting with paved entrance plaza, landscaped borders, and mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- The approach leads from an open paved plaza through a dramatically low, illuminated circular canopy into a glazed corporate lobby entrance.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal sweep of the circular canopy contrasts with the vertical layering and dot-pattern rhythm of the upper perforated screen.
