The overall concept captures the key essence from traditional
Hangzhou’s Hui-style architecture, embodying a sense of simplicity,
modesty and elegance. The innate relationship between man and
nature from Hui-style architecture was explored and fused into the
scheme. As a subtle association to the cultural heritage, the shaved
roofs of the building mimic the iconic Hui-style rooflines, making the
mall a local landmark reminiscent of Hangzhou’s traditional villages.
