Rather, the podium is pierced and shaped by two main axes that allow for
fluid mobility through it. The effect generated is akin to streets running
between city blocks. Clear distinctions are made between the multiple
programme components by cut-outs that reveal negative space between the
building volumes.
The serviced apartment volume has been placed strategically to maximise
views toward the north and south parks. It will primarily act as a destination
for business, given the close proximity to the future airport in the south of
Daxing.
Attention has been paid to connections with the retail street. The design
intention is to encourage guests to meander and capitalise on the available
shopping and dining opportunities during their stay.
In the mall, large internal terraces act as extensions of the shop fronts.
Escalators and walk ways connect to the adjacent terraces and weave the
development into the 3D urban pedestrian network. The terraces are able
to accommodate temporary booths, open bars, dining, or even casual
relaxation zones.
The design for the north plot incorporates office and retail zones positioned
at each end of the new park. The park, embraced by architecture, has been
imagined as a “programmed void” – an open space that accommodates a
variety of discoverable landmarks including leisure and activity zones,
seasonally themed gardens, playgrounds, and a large-scale sunken plaza.
The park has been designed to be enjoyed physically at multiple levels, and
visually from the architecture that overlooks it.
Pathways intertwine between the activity areas, inciting movement from
zone to zone while serving as a loop between the blocks. With multiple
protruding balconies, the two-story retail environments on the north plot
allow for unhindered views into the park. They are topped by a low-rise
