Located at the bank of JinJi Lake, the plot is directly toward the lake and riverside greenery with the programming central plaza connecting city and nature scenery so that it is possess of the best view sight of this region. Consequently, its unique conditions in terms of location and scenery have determined the limitation on its building height and volume as well as its commercial typology.

This type of commercial complex should not only present the character of the plot that being the extend-out of the riverside greenbelt, but also provide an excellent scenic view. At the same time, it should also become a creator for modern building and landscape to provide an interesting and scenic public space with multi-layers as well as an independent and delightful corner of the industry park in Suzhou.

The organization and creation, in the progress of commercial space on the basis of above, endows the commercial with the new concept that “ Shopscape”. It is possible that consumers won’t go shopping in a close, noisy, overcrowd tedious interior space or a very standard shopping environment, instead of they could experience a vivid and delightful space with fresh air and greenery during their shopping. Moreover, it enables the consumers to move, rest, communicate and self-enjoy with various speed and mode anywhere anytime.

Therefore, in the course of site study and programming, we exert ourselves to bring maximumly the external landscape to the lot, then connect tightly the internal landscape with the architectural space and transfer skillfully architecture into a part of landscape. At last, this associated landscape would be turned into a part of commercial to a great extent in order to realize the “Shopscape” we advocated.
