SHORT DESCRIPTION

The challenge for the designers was to create a modern, eco-fashion shopping center in the classical garden city of Suzhou!The design of this project is inspired by “dancing waters in forested streams” running down valleys between mountains. Designer has envisioned the interior of this nearly 300-meter-long shopping center as a flowing tapestry of water. The essence of Suzhou’s water towns and classical gardens has been embedded into the design, incorporating elements of flowing water and mountain forests throughout the space. The water flows gracefully, creating rich layers of curves and undulations that transform into multifunctional areas. This arrangement integrates diverse business offerings and shared spaces within a circular flow, constructing dynamic scenes that leave a strong visual impact. Wandering through the center feels as though one is enveloped by the flowing water itself. Situated on levels L5-L6, the MEGA space called Moon Island is Suzhou's first cross-level urban "natural island," spanning over 3,000 square meters. This enclosed area mimics a forest island, featuring spaces that resemble islands sculpted by flowing water, varying in size and freely distributed throughout the space. The overlapping forms create shops, terraces, and courtyards, while sunlight pours through the glass skylights, breathing life into the vibrant, nature-inspired environment that fosters relaxation, socializing, and a connection to the outdoors. This island emphasizes the project's distinctive new social and experiential formats and offerings. Xiangcheng Paradise Walk elevates the urban quality of life by prioritizing sharing, social interaction, and experiential offerings. By enhancing the integration of key commercial areas, it boosts consumer engagement and vitality, unlocking spending potential and invigorating market activity. This strategy promotes high-quality development in regional commerce and increases the asset value of urban projects.
