DESIGN NAME: CIFI Plaza Beijing
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multifunctional
INSPIRATION: As a high-rise, narrow depth shopping center, the project aims to create a three-dimensional city with variable spaces. Starting from the section, the design breaks away from the typical floor by floor layout, creating multiple public highlight spaces and multiple entrance levels above the ground level. Meanwhile, the facade reveals these indoor highlights spaces, allowing maximum interaction between the interior and the urban environment.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CIFI Plaza Beijing is an infill project, located in the core business area of Fangshan District, Beijing. As a community shopping center, the design strives to incorporate social / public spaces into the project, and to provide a community living room for the surrounding neighborhoods.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: An outdoor cross-level escalator is set up in the east side to reach the third floor, and another outdoor escalator is set up in the west side to reach the second floor, forming the concept of multiple entrance levels. Creating highlight spaces in high levels at the same time, effectively helping people to reach the higher floor levels. Open House, an innovative space of nearly 1000 m2 and 15m high, is implanted on the top floor of the northeast corner. As the largest IP of the project, it brings good publicity to the corner, and effectively activates the business value of the high levels.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2019 and still ongoing.
