concept & vision

two concepts to revitalize an industrial area with retail, leisure and cultural activities

design & architecture

we design two iterations of a four-level container structure, both with intertwining indoor, outdoor, opened and covered spaces, and outdoor circulation. Also, both with our intentional color, gradient or high-contrast

program & use

ground floor and upper levels are animated with shops, cafes, restaurants and with the constant movement of people

impact & significance

working toward an intimate experience through a network of separate yet interconnected buildings and open public spaces, offsetting the large scale of massing and site
