Challenge
EFC Mall sits at the heart of a large-scale, mixed-use development. Benoy’s retail scheme needed to tie in with a LEED Super Level A office building, international 5‑star hotel, large scale brand business center, upscale serviced apartment and modern high-end environmental friendly urban residence, all of which are planned around a central park.
Solution
Benoy drew upon its placemaking expertise to bring together the design of the retail podium spread across three separate plots. A highlight for the development is the 200m commercial corridor which encircles the parkland and sits above the linked retail podiums.
Result
Benoy achieved this brief by interacting with the extensive central park which sits in the middle of the three sites which also features its own existing waterway which flows through the landscape. EFC Mall and its wider mixed-use scheme are set to introduce a thriving destination which celebrates the best of Hangzhou’s lush landscape and modern creativity.
