441,700 m² , including an area of 123,000 m² for shopping malls, an area of 38,000 m² for outdoor business streets, and an area of 130,000 m² for offices.
Challenge
Chongqing Yubei Wuyue Plaza is located in the core business district of the Central Park neighbourhood of Liangjiang New Area. The site is in close proximity to the Central Park, the largest open urban park in Asia and the third largest open urban park in the world.
The main tower is a Grade 5A office building with a height of 238 m, making it one of the tallest buildings in the central business district (CBD). Bolstered by the national development strategy, the project is well-positioned to seize this regional development opportunity, setting a benchmark for commercial properties in Western China.
Solution
Based on the understanding and interpretation of the property owner’s corporate culture and Chongqing’s unique local culture, we further elaborated upon the design concept of“joyfully dancing in the mountainous city” and built spaces with local flavours to reflect and show our respect to the traditional urban fabric of Chongqing.
Result
After adjoining the two city icons, Yubei Central Park CBD and Wuyue Plaza, as well as Benoy’s inclusion of shaping the diverse business formats, the complex is set to become an extremely trendy and lively place that truly achieves the goal of“Wuyue Plaza: joyfully dancing in the mountainous city”.
In terms of interior design, our team divided the interior commercial space into five upper and lower floors. The idea behind the main atrium was well conceived thanks to the unique night scenes and skylines of Chongqing.
