Specification

Glazed Curtain Walls with Cantilevered Mass Timber Framing

This commercial facade typology combines unitized glass curtain wall systems with expressed mass timber structural framing, creating dramatic cantilevers over multi-story glazed entrance atriums. Deep soffits and warm timber interiors contrast with crisp exterior glazing, mediating between large-scale civic presence and sustainable biophilic design.

Aerial dusk view of a large commercial office complex with interconnected courtyards, reflective pools, and landscaped public plazas by goa大象设计.

Commercial_complex

A large-scale commercial campus masterplan by goa大象设计 featuring integrated courtyard spaces, reflective pools, and structured curtain wall office blocks surrounding a vibrant public realm.

What we like about this project
A prominent exterior circulation stair tower acts as a vertical anchor against the grid facade of the adjacent office block.

Geometry
An extensive multi-building campus surrounding a central public plaza with stepped floor plates, inset courtyards, and articulated vertical circulation towers.
Facade system
Unitized metal and glass curtain wall system with horizontal spandrel bands and vertical mullions.
Structural guess
Steel frame with composite floor slabs and concrete core stabilization towers.
Spatial scale
Large-scale corporate campus; mid-to-high-rise blocks enclosing a generous multi-acre plaza and reflecting pool.
Lighting
Twilight blue hour balanced by warm interior workspace illumination and localized path lighting across the plazas.
Atmosphere
Serene dusk atmosphere where glowing workspaces merge with animated public plazas and calm reflective water features.
Environmental context
Dense urban commercial district with expansive pedestrianized public realm at grade.
Spatial experience
The complex unfolds as a sequence of linked urban courtyards and plazas, moving from active hardscaped pedestrian zones into quieter terraced green pockets.
Composition rhythm
Repeating window grid rhythms across multiple facade planes balanced by the organic geometry of scattered trees and central reflecting pools.
