Driven by themes of leisure and wellness, this lifestyle mall in the West Lake district of Hangzhou, China, celebrates the essence of traditional Hangzhou and Hui architecture, which is known for their elegance and conciseness, particularly with a contemporary version of iconic shaved roofs and interlocking spaces. Inspired by the concept of ‘Liu Bai’ – leaving parts of the canvas blank – from Chinese ink paintings, courtyards are injected to provide ample space for visitors to enjoy a breather and unwind while looking out towards the Wulitang River.

Inspired by the idea of Liu Bai in Chinese ink paintings, which mean intentionally leaving blank spaces on the canvas, courtyards are placed at intervals across the development to provide ample space for visitors to relax and unwind. The northwest corner of the building was also set aside as a Zen courtyard, where visitors can enjoy the mesmerising view of the Wulitang River. An infinity pool and wellness centre is placed on the roof of the building, so that citizens can enjoy quick getaway in the urban oasis. Source by LWK + Partners.
