The company – part of Egis’ Architecture Line – has unveiled Tongzhou MixC One, a seven-storey retail development in Beijing’s Tongzhou district.
Spanning 100,000sq m, the complex offers a diverse mix of retail, dining and entertainment options.
Lukasz Wawrzenczyk, Design Principal at 10 Design, said the team wanted to move beyond traditional “big box” store designs to create a more interactive structure. “The visual connectivity between spaces guides visitors to explore the mall’s upper levels, where more experiences await,” he added.
Inspired by the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the mall incorporates a flowing water concept to create a serene atmosphere. A “bubble” path from levels three to five then leads to a children’s zone featuring rounded shapes and pure white tones inspired by bubbles stirred up by canal boats. A viewing platform on levels four and five provides panoramic city views, with a cantilevered design and transparent glazed curtain wall offering glimpses of the mall’s interior. The top levels, six and seven, feature an open layout sky garden and a link bridge beneath an expansive dome, offering various F&B options with views of the central atrium.
At night, an LED-covered ceiling illuminates the space with dynamic light displays, resembling a shimmering pearl on the facade.
