WUHAN CITYLANE RETAIL INTERIOR

Situated at the side of the famous temple in Wuhan hanyang district, the entire development includes retail precinct, mall, offices, hotel and existing heritages. The whole development stretches 450m in length and 350m in depth. To connect the multi functioned buildings across different city blocks, the basement retail is a challenging task to offer the ultimate connectivity from above ground to below, to connect the pedestrian flows from surroundings, and hence the experiments of public space in retail environments.

With rich historical context, the interior design of the underground retail is inspired by the temple’s incense forms and movements. The fluid form of the ceiling and paving patterns direct the visitors and lead to 6 main feature nodes, where the theme designs are introduced to enhance the experiences. They are high street, the artistry, egret garden, plum street, food loft and enchanted playground.
