ICD Mall, Chengdu ICC

The newly completed complex comprises of five above-ground storeys and two basement storeys of retail space. It houses amenities such as international fashion brands, fine-dining restaurants, a Dolby Cinema, and a landscaped roof garden for alfresco dining and leisure strolls.

The design is derived from Chengdu’s culture and the adjacent Shahe (Sand River), which emphasizes a carefree and harmonious co-existence with nature. Positioned as a ‘heavenly fiesta inspired by water’, the flowing curve starts from one-dimensional and gradually develops into different levels of curves, creating a unique but sophisticating façade. Dynamic lines outline the unique geographical beauty, which are also inspired from the natural landscape in Huang Long - a scenic spot in the Jiu Zhai Gou. The streamlined façade creates setbacks that resembles the terraced natural landscape and provides outdoor spaces for restaurants to match the relaxing lifestyle of Chengdu citizen, delivering a "Land of Abundance" for the community to echo the city’s nature and cultural lifestyle.

The mall is pets-friendly as well, gathering different groups of customers in the mall. The interior is especially divided in 5 zones with different functions and themes, curated to match different visitor’s needs with unique spatial experience and atmospheres.
