迈奇公寓 / Majestic Apartments (Shanghai)

Overview

迈奇公寓 appears as a Lai An-designed Shanghai apartment building and as one of the examples where the episode identifies his rounded balcony vocabulary.

Current Profile

The source uses Majestic Apartments alongside 盖斯康公寓 and other former French Concession buildings to show Lai An’s recognizable design signature. The building matters less as an isolated monument than as part of a cluster of apartments whose semi-circular balconies, curved corners, and technical difficulty make Lai An legible on the street.

Key Characteristics
