About Uni-park Daxing Community Shopping Center

Uni-park Daxing är ett femvåningars köpcentrum för lokalsamhället i södra Beijing. En samlevnadsyta upptar tredje till femte våningen i det nordvästra hörnet och fungerar som en offentlig plats för vila och möten. Det tre våningar höga rummet öppnar sig mot gatan genom en stor glasvägg. Trappstegsformade terrasser på västfasaden skapar flera utomhusytor för aktiviteter. En takträdgård nås från terrasserna och från samlevnadsytan. En stålkonstruktion bär de övre våningarna, som skjuter ut fem meter över huvudentrén.

Production Technology: Steel structure is adopted as the main structural system. Above the main entrance, the upper floors are overhung by 5 meters to accentuate the sense of arrival. The main facade is consisted of stone panels, insulated glass units, and aluminum panels.
Design Challenge: As the project is located in the new residential area of Daxing district, how to attract young people and families from surroundings becomes the biggest challenge of the project. The project strives to create a variety of public spaces for the residents, to connect the site with surrounding communities, and to become a destination for leisure and social activities.
Research: Daxing Uni-park emphasizes the relationship between architecture and city in design. Abundant volumetric relationship forms a pleasant urban facade. Transparent volumes are employed at key nodes, to provide a dynamic interface for the building. The self-isolated prototype of typical shopping malls is transformed into an open, transparent, and attractive urban commercial space.
Inspiration: The neighboring Nanhaizi park used to be a royal hunting ground and is known as a national reserve for elk. This building keeps the natural atmosphere of the surroundings and creates an open and cozy place. The design seeks to strengthen the connection between the building and the surrounding communities, and to provide an attractive community living room as well as a neighborhood shopping center.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 in Beijing, China and will be finished in 2021.
Operation Flow: The Daxin Uni-park seeks to soften the boundary between the interior and the surrounding communities. People can wander freely between indoor and outdoor spaces. It will bring a rich citizen life to a vibrant community.
