The frontage of Sungang MixC Market Hall, China Resources’ new mixed-use development in Shenzhen, is now complete. Created by Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10 Design, the frontage is marked by a stainless steel canopy that forms a dynamic sculptural first impression for visitors to the new complex, acting as an artistic gateway.
The sweeping form spirals into a loop and pulls visitors into the retail street. Two large office towers frame the edges of the retail street, and the canopy is used as a mechanism to create a comfortable pedestrian scale. The metallic skin is highly reflective to add vibrancy in both sunlight and the glow of early evening.
Construction of the entire development is well underway with an anticipated completion date in Q3 2022.
