busTLING NANjING ROAD WEsT, CHAPMAN TAYLOR HAs NOW COMPLETED A sHOPPING<br />
CENTRE ON HuAIHAI ROAD, THE CITY’s OTHER PRINCIPAL sHOPPING sTREET.<br />
This major shopping mall in downtown shanghai was<br />
underperforming despite being located on the prestigious Huaihai<br />
road commercial strip. since its opening in 1999, the centre has<br />
undergone a number of ‘facelifts’, however, these didn’t improve<br />
the shopping experience.<br />
We were commissioned by the client to provide complete interior,<br />
exterior and landscape design services in order to enhance this part<br />
of their property portfolio.<br />

The dynamic graphics of<br />
the façade create a strong<br />
identity for the centre.<br />
The refurbishment was undertaken in phases to allow for<br />
continuity of trade, gradually improving the centre’s efficiency,<br />
visibility and clarity.<br />
The central atrium and its skylight were rediscovered and softened<br />
by stretched fabric awnings, the circulation was simplified and the<br />
exterior was brightened by tasteful, concealed LeD lighting zones.<br />
The project was completed in December 2009 within budget<br />
and on time, attracting new international tenants such as muji,<br />
sephora and H&m.
