CIFI Gongchen is a 30,000 sqm, eight-storey shopping mall located in the Fangshan District of Beijing. At the beginning of CLOU’s interior design process for this project, its small volume, relatively large number of storeys and distance from central Beijing were pinpointed as design challenges. How to ensure footfall into the upper and less accessible areas of this mall became the problem CLOU would solve by an innovative design solution.
CLOU has planned three key spaces at the ends of the box-shaped mall, creating three uniquely themed atriums at the third, fourth, and sixth floor. Anchor shops such as a gym, children’s education centres and a cinema occupy opposite ends of the mall, complementing the three atriums. The entire space thus becomes a ‘well-rounded’ system without cold zones, driving the circulation upwards and around the proposal.
The three atriums have botanic themes. Rose gold ceiling plates gently reflect the light from LED tubes in sprout or blossom shapes, warming up a convivial atmosphere for customers to enjoy some casual time.
