Commercial Format Simulate pop-up retail terrace and kiosk layouts (position, scale, configuration) to analyze spatial penetration, visual transparency, and the flow and engagement of the main circulation. Identify optimal spatial connections and transitions to maximize commercial performance.

Pattern Generation vs Modular Design

Capture the ancient coin geomerty of Qibao Ancient Town to  create the pattern of the "book page" ceiling. Through 5 curved modules to create a staggered ceiling with a flowing layered effect like fluttering book pages.

Layout Optimiztion

The renovation focuses on revitalizing the upper-level southeast corner – a low-traffic zone – by improving flow and visibility. Previously used for sports with overly deep shops that hindered access, displays, and operations, our solution creates a central atrium featuring an eye-catching staircase connecting L4 and L5 within the existing structure. This staircase acts as a focal point to draw customers vertically, enhancing accessibility and shop visibility. By reconfiguring the layout and retail units, the design increases the number of shops, optimizes displays, and restores the space's commercial value.
