Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China

This mixed-use development has stood vacant for over a decade. Our mandate was to revamp both the exterior facade of the mall podium and the interior layout to transform it into a functional shopping destination. Inspired by the graceful flight of the Phoenix—a Chinese mythical symbol of transcendence and renewal—the design introduces an elegant roof canopy at the main mall entrance, seamlessly transitioning into an intriguing facade enveloping the entire podium. We employed a blend of metal panels, fritted pattern glass, advertisement displays, and dynamic geometries to invigorate the project. Inside, rigorous design refinements were undertaken to optimize functional layouts and circulation pathways throughout the mall.
