through expanding the existing ‘china world trade center’ complex, 5+design have developed a solution intended to connect and integrate the campus’ diverse range of programs. the mixed-use project will house a variety of new commercial outlets, from high-end luxury boutiques to more family oriented retail stores. the site, home to beijing’s tallest office tower, and in close proximity to OMA’s CCTV headquarters, is already well connected within the city, accessible from three subway lines.

the mall is clad in patterned and layered translucent glass, allowing light to enter the building and offering glimpses behind the scheme’s façade. internally, glazed storefronts present onto open and brightly lit circulation routes, while numerous restaurants and bars offer panoramic views across beijing. at night the structure becomes illuminated, serving as a beacon for the site and welcoming those passing by.
