Tags: Vertical city, Community living room，Infill project, Multiple Entrance Levels
Design Challenge: The shape of the site is narrow and long, and the maximum footprint of the building is too small for a conventional shopping center. The greatest challenge of the project is to design a reasonable shopping floor plan within such a tight site, and to pull people to reach the higher floor levels.
Research: The research focuses on the innovation of the section. The design breaks away from the traditional floor by floor layout, implants multiple cross-level spaces into the project, creating an interesting vertical city.
Inspiration: As a high-rise, narrow depth shopping center, the project aims to create a three-dimensional city with variable spaces. Starting from the section, the design breaks away from the typical floor by floor layout, creating multiple public highlight spaces and multiple entrance levels above the ground level. Meanwhile, the facade reveals these indoor highlights spaces, allowing maximum interaction between the interior and the urban environment.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2019 and still ongoing.
Location: Beijing,China
Operation Flow: An outdoor cross-level escalator is set up in the east side to reach the third floor, and another outdoor escalator is set up in the west side to reach the second floor, forming the concept of multiple entrance levels. Creating highlight spaces in high levels at the same time, effectively helping people to reach the higher floor levels. Open House, an innovative space of nearly 1000 m2 and 15m high, is implanted on the top floor of the northeast corner. As the largest IP of the project, it brings good publicity to the corner, and effectively activates the business value of the high levels.
