Project Description
When East meets West, the nostalgic era becomes a characteristic of the city of Xiamen. A 2-storey semi outdoor mall, Jimei Park Mall offers visitors a novel experience that brings them back to that epoch through contemporized Nanyang design style. Located in the new industrial district in the north of Xiamen, Jimei Park Mall aims to become the retail destination for the business hotel and office surroundings.
It began with an intention to continue the legacy of the existing mall building that adopted local Xiamen modernized Chinese architectural style. Nanyang style refers to the use of a mix of styles and techniques from Chinese pictorial traditions and Western art, which becomes the main substance for the interior design. The retail interior space applies mainly the use of bright and warm colours, which depicts a quality of elegance and brings a positive atmosphere into the space. The spirit of Nanyang is expressed through the black metal finish silhouette that forms a row of arches and other tropical patterns along the corridor, veranda and shop fronts ornamentation. The contrast between bright background and dark silhouette illustrates the soul of Nanyang and hopes to bring its spirit into life.
The articulation of the Chinese influenced South-East Asian style windows and doors on the shop front are retained as ornamentation to preserve the Nanyang characteristic. Add to the main, geometric tiles and lattice work also can be found on the flooring and the outdoor furniture fitting throughout the retail space. Jimei Park Mall is crafted to be a destination for a grand journey to different outdoor and indoor experiences in contemporary Nanyang design style.
