GET SPACE, the flagship youth-oriented commercial street project in Huangpu Science City, Guangzhou, China, seamlessly connects to the Metro Station. The complex, spanning an impressive 154,800 square meters, integrates Premium Retail, Smart Offices, Sky Pavilion Suites, and Multifunctional Spaces, setting a new benchmark for urban commercial development in East Guangzhou.

Inspired by the interplay of the Pearl River and the region's historic ports, the lighting design draws on imagery of sailing ships and rippling waters. By revisiting Huangpu’s maritime legacy, the design evokes the warmth of twilight when ships returned with great harvests, a metaphor for dreams carried across the seas.

The layered architectural forms, reminiscent of stacked cargo boxes, create a dynamic composition of varying heights and cascading platforms, echoing the rhythm of the harbor. Illuminated glass façades and rippling light patterns further reflect the gentle waves of the river, establishing an internationally inspired urban complex that seamlessly integrates design, functionality, and cultural storytelling.

The façade’s minimalist design uses stacked “box” structures and terraced platforms, creating a rhythmic yet modern urban aesthetic. Advanced LED technology enhances the interplay of light and architecture, utilizing embedded spotlights, linear accents, and vertical lighting to highlight the building’s contours. The design carefully balances function and artistry with dynamic lighting tones—4000K for building exteriors and 3000K for pedestrian spaces—ensuring a vibrant yet inviting atmosphere.

Despite a budget under 20 million RMB, the project stands out as an exemplary case of cost-efficient design, achieving impressive results. The seamless integration of sustainable systems and energy-efficient lighting methods ensures both environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.

Since its launch, GET SPACE has attracted widespread media attention and numerous accolades, with over 130,000 visitors within its first three days of operation. This innovative commercial complex combines retail, dining, entertainment, culture, and art into an immersive, interactive community hub. It redefines urban spaces by blending cutting-edge technology with a human-centered approach, catering to families, friends, and professionals alike.

More than a shopping destination, GET SPACE represents a vision for future living—a vibrant social landmark setting new trends in urban lifestyle.
