Exposed concrete building facade with a large glass storefront
上海
An exterior architectural view showcasing exposed concrete volumes and large display glazing that integrates public exhibition graphics with urban pedestrian spaces.
- What we like about this project
- Large colorful symbolic cutouts applied directly to the exterior glazing create a dialogue with passing pedestrians.

- Geometry
- An orthogonal concrete mass with a recessed multi-pane glazed storefront framed in dark metal profiles, set along a paved pedestrian zone.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing set within an in-situ concrete structural reveal.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame structure with non-structural glazed infill.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled public plaza with a single-story glazed frontage set into a taller massing.
- Lighting
- Soft daylight from an overcast sky casts even illumination across the concrete surfaces and cobblestone ground.
- Atmosphere
- Inviting and public-oriented, blending clean architectural concrete with playful graphic interventions.
- Environmental context
- Urban public plaza with exposed concrete architectural massing and pedestrian foot traffic.
- Spatial experience
- The transition from the textured stone paving through the transparent glass facade creates an open connection between the public square and the interior display.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical glass bays correspond to structural mullions, balanced against the solid mass of the concrete frame.
