This four-storey mall situated alongside the busy Beixing Avenue is set to become a new retail destination in Chengdu’s Xindu District.
CLOU worked with Longfor to develop and apply a series of detail modules in order to standardise future shopping mall plans. The challenge was to create highlights and variation with a framework of repetition.
The design offers a spatial narrative by defining three distinctive mall entrances. The north-east entrance is envisaged as canyon washed in moonlight, actualised by a public plaza and terraced volumes which form an open civic gathering place. The south-west entrance is outlined by a cantilever roof structure as the ‘oasis’ under canopies. The entrance which faces the busy intersection of two main roads is presented as an imposing contemporary palace with three transparent glass boxes highlighting the mall’s presence from distance.
In order to unify this bold design language, a glazed facade on the ground floor and grey granite cladding on upper floors are employed. This contrasting visual effect of massiveness versus transparency conjures the vision of a series of old Chengdu alleys floating along the Sichuan river.
