About the Project

Overview This large commercial complex has four basement levels and five above-ground levels consisting of shopping malls and office buildings. It is located next to the Pingguoyuan station terminus in the Shijingshan District of Beijing. This is the third Joy City to be opened in Beijing, which boasts a heightened ability to attract customers within China due to its highly unique facility designs. Approximately 30% of its 200-plus commercial tenants are making their debut in the Shijingshan District, providing new visiting and purchasing experiences to fulfill not only the desires of young people, but of a broader customer base, including families.
Issues/Themes To materialize a design that would naturally enhance circulation of the entire commercial space, which spans a floor area of 110,000m2 and distance of 320m from east to west.
Space Solution/Realization We have implemented designs that emphasize both horizontal and vertical movement at each point of interest. Additionally, different designs are adopted for the basement and above-ground levels in an attempt to encourage visitors to move between the upper and lower floors.
On the above-ground levels, we have attempted to improve circulation between the floors by drawing attention to vertical movement. This is done by installing lighting designs that pool light at the elevators and connecting corridors of the main atrium, which serves as a means of both horizontal and vertical movement. On the basement levels, we have tightened the entire space through the use of black lines inserted into a stylish, minimalistic white space. We have also created a futuristic ambiance in the atrium by using reflective surfaces to produce light. The addition of photogenic designs to the ceiling increases the awareness of the space spanning to the east and west and encourages visitors to circulate throughout the entire facility.
