• About Firm
  United Units Architects (UUA) is a RIBA chartered practice. Our reputation is founded on our creative design of spaces and forms, attention to details, whilst remaining sensitive to both culture and context. The practice is characterized by a unique design philosophy seeing architecture as a humanistic temperament coupled with technical precision. UUA is engaged in a broad selection of projects, encompassing every aspect of urban, architectural and interior design.

Backed by undulating karst mountains, this factory building draws its design language from the natural context. To the north of the site there is a bare plateau flattened by the mining of a cement factory. In order to respond to the nature and memory of the site, the facade of the building is featured by a pattern of undulating mountain range to visually remedy the damage to the mountains by human impacts, evoking the self-examination of human activities. The pattern of the mountain range is derived from the combination of four sets of trigonometric function curves through parametric design.
