ShenYang MixC Mall opens
In this article (4)
CR Land recently celebrated the opening of its ShenYang MixC Mall in China’s Liaoning Province.
The centre’s opening completed a 30 month design and delivery partnership with The Buchan Group’s Shanghai studio.
“CR Land’s design brief was to attract the local office and residential communities, particularly Gen Y and young families, by providing an elegant and efficient mall design that would also function as ‘a place to celebrate,’” said principal David MacLeod.
“This allowed us to be more playful with our built forms and lighting when designing the interiors.”
As a result, The Buchan Group was able to integrate strong ceiling, lighting and floor patterning to provide precinct differentiation, as well as creating a bold, unified design intent that tied the elongated centre together.
The five-level ShenYang MixC Mall is anchored by a major entertainment and food precinct at the uppermost level, and extends two levels below ground to a fast fashion precinct connected to basement car parking and MRT hub, making the mall the major component in one of the largest mixed–use projects in the city.
The Buchan Group provided integrated interior architecture and interior design services to all public mall areas, as well as a number of specialised customer service facilities.
