About the Project

Overview The shopping center is located in the center of Beijing, approximately 1.2 km east of Tiananmen Square, in a location that could be considered the face of one of China's most historic commercial areas. This large commercial complex, with seven floors above ground and two below, has a commercial floor area of 78,000㎡ and is targeted at trend-conscious young people. It is the first of its kind to be operated by the “Wangfujing Group,” which operates traditional department stores and shopping malls in China that also house high-end brand shops.
Issues/Themes To make this facility into a central location (symbol) for youth consumption in Beijing.
To create a space that maximizes the potential of the open-ceiling design in order to encourage the flow of people to the 7th floor, which is the top floor.
Space Solution/Realization The design concept is "One Beijing Spirit, More Auspicious and Joyful Pictures." We sought to create an attractive space that would bring new colors to each floor and strike a chord with trend-conscious young people, who are our target demographic, by combining the five colors –blue, red, yellow, white, and black– of the “Five Directions and Five Elements,” which is a popular philosophy in China since ancient times and is one of the important factors in the urban formation of Beijing, with the “auspicious patterns” that have long been rooted in Beijing's vast and rich culture, redesigned in a modern style.
