Chinese Cultural Center

A fluid, wave-like roof with a warm timber soffit crowns the building, floating over a transparent glass curtain wall. Slim black steel columns and V-shaped braces rhythmically articulate the façade, while horizontal louvers soften light and add texture. The generous glazing reveals an open, luminous interior and blurs boundaries between inside and the landscaped plaza. Deep overhangs, layered screens, and abundant planting suggest a climate-conscious, inviting civic landmark.
