Text description provided by the architects
Located in the middle of Huayan New City, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, the project sits at the junction of the core business and residential area and the urban image reshaping zone. It is the gateway from Huayan New Area to the main city core. The project creates scenes and special contexts through design, building a high-tech immersive experience space that allows consumers' memories and emotions to dialogue with the scene, thereby enjoying an immersive interactive shopping experience. The design concept seeks to find the people and place, guided by the Son of Dawn who leads people to experience the new market, recapturing the prosperity of the past and bringing new dawn to Renhe Xili. Traveling together with the giraffe, the messenger of light, visitors witness the transformation of Renhe Xili. The design uses the Son of Light as the core IP image to create a situated children's joy space, integrating the thematic concepts of Morning Island, Mist Forest, Sunset Valley, and Cloud Wilderness into the site. The result is a new Renhe market that combines high-tech immersive experiences, multi-functional activity spaces, mountain-water urban character, and a situated children's playground. The commercial entrance plaza, Morning Island, begins in the hazy light of early morning as the Son of Light sets out on a journey seeking light. Following the rhythm of cliff-valley cascades and passing green terraces, visitors enter a romantic and fashionable commercial plaza where terraced landscapes combine with playful dry fountains to activate the vitality of this mountain-water city.
