Streamline facade design

Straight lines are rich in order, while curves are rich in variety.

If the extensive use of straight lines in architecture is a rational and standardized design, then the light and rhythmic curves often give a dynamic and even rigid building a sense of vitality. Compared to simple straight facades, the application of curves in architecture can be considered a high level of difficulty challenge. From the curve kingdom of Antonio Gaudi, the father of curves in the world, Barcelona and the Holy Family Cathedral, to the Shanghai gateway landmarks of "curve queen" Zaha Hadid, such as the Soaring SOHO and the Singapore Royal Dutch Mansion, looking at the exterior facades of luxury houses around the world, curves are mostly unavoidable. This is not only the pursuit of many designers, but also the ultimate interpretation of human aesthetics.


Streamline facade residential buildings generally have the following characteristics

Differentiated High Beauty Aesthetics

Different from the conventional architectural style, which emphasizes vertical and vertical lines, Blobitecture turns the external corners of the plane into rounded corners, bringing an aesthetic style beyond the times.

Curved lines enhance artistic rhythm

Arcs replace right angles, the facade changes more gently and naturally, and blends better with the environment. The smooth arc also brings more possibilities for styling.

Modern materials reflect a sense of technology and fashion

The widespread use of materials such as glass and aluminum panels breaks down the outdated nature of buildings. The heavy sense of volume highlights the modern lightweight texture and visual fashion sense.

Large area lighting surfaces highlight the maximization of landscape vision

The use of large area glass, transparent and bright, also brings a wider landscape view.

In order to achieve the beauty of harmony in thousands of curves, Jinchang · Yanbo Xinglu, relying on the "golden method" of the algorithm world - Pythagoras Golden Section aesthetics, uses strict proportionality, artistry, and harmony to make a proper proportion of the curves, and finally presents a harmonious vision of symmetry, coordination, beauty and moxibustion.

Even the gap between the aluminum plate and the glass size strictly follows the perfect distance under the rational mathematics of the golden section. For example, two glass railing panels approximately 1.5 meters wide correspond to an aluminum panel approximately 3 meters wide, reducing the misalignment of facade gaps and fully showcasing the "aesthetic of a millimeter".

Its angle and length are the crystallization of repeated calculation of data by Yanbo Xinglu in consideration of Philosophy of architecture and functional balance. During the summer solstice, it can block the scorching noon sun exposure, and during the winter solstice, it can reflect warm sunlight indoors, making it warm in winter and cool in summer. At the same time, the aluminum panel on the eaves is designed with a drainage slope of about 5% to prevent dust accumulation and enhance the cleanliness of the aluminum panel.



Each hyperbolic aluminum plate needs to be decomposed into components using special BIM software after precise 3D modeling. The process of modeling is a comprehensive "3D proofreading" process, which eliminates the fuzzy tuning of "more, less" in post production and allows the slightest deviation to disappear before production.
