Exterior Design: A Blend of Art and Functionality
Inspired by the ethereal beauty of “Guizhou in the Clouds,” the architects of Guiyang MixC sought to integrate Guizhou’s natural landscapes with the vibrancy of modern urban life. The building’s facade predominantly features LOPO’s white corrugated glazed terracotta panels, which are vertically installed to create a rhythmic and dynamic visual effect.
The corrugated panels not only add texture and depth but also reflect soft light under various conditions, enhancing the facade’s visual appeal. Combined with silver-gray aluminum panels and LOW-E glass curtain walls, the exterior exudes a modern, minimalist aesthetic that is both elegant and functional.
