Huawei Flagship Store Beijing
A commercial flagship store exterior precedent showcasing large-radius curved structural glazing and a pronounced separating cornice between retail base and upper tower.
- What we like about this project
- The upper curtain wall features subtly corrugated or softly undulating curved glass panels that catch reflections differently than flat panes.

- Geometry
- A sweeping, large-radius curved corner volume featuring a seamless double-height glazed ground floor beneath a heavy, organic-profile dark cornice and upper corrugated glass curtain wall.
- Facade system
- Curved structural silicone-joint glass curtain wall with custom composite eyebrow canopy.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with cantilevered floor edges and point-supported or structural silicone glass mullions.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; a multi-story flagship commercial front with sweeping curves spanning wide bay widths.
- Lighting
- Bright, uniform interior ceiling illumination creates high interior transparency that dominates the dusk/overcast exterior daylight.
- Atmosphere
- Polished, luminous, and welcoming commercial presence along an urban corner.
- Environmental context
- Urban pedestrian plaza corner with neighboring urban street fabric visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- From the pedestrian plaza, the deeply recessed transparent ground level invites the eye deep into the illuminated multi-tier display space, while the dark curved eyebrow clearly separates base retail from upper corporate floors.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stratification established by the dark curved canopy separating the undulating ribbed upper glass from the fully transparent ground-level showroom.
