The transformation of the semi-outdoor sky garden on the 4F attracts and engages people young generations by incorporating street culture and industrial chic elements. Worked together with the skateboarding experts to ensure the sky skatepark was designed professionally. The murals and street art throughout the space were co-created with local artists. These colourful and vibrant artworks added an element of creativity and street culture to the raw and industrial design, making the young energetic with an urban vibe come alive.

The interior design of the 4F to 6F provides youngsters with a sense of belonging and a platform for creativity and exploration. To develop a unique design idea that embodies the concept of "Urban Attitude". The goal was to create an urban vibe through a vibrant street full of energy and creativity, driving the attention to multiple levels from the street level to the interior, by physically and visually connecting through the multi-level retail and common spaces. Strategically to open a new void on the 5F creating a new atrium space to form a central common area for hosting curated events and exhibitions. We experimented with raw and unconventional materials and design solutions that set the space apart from a typical shopping mall image, including the design of transformable retail kiosks. The design concept of basement levels of B1 and B2 is about the transformation of “an Extension of The Train Station Journey” as a unique approach to retail and leisure. To evoke the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of a train station where people can gather, socialize, dine, and shop. Adopting social interaction and community engagement, it offers a memorable and immersive space that captures the essence of a bustling urban transportation hub, the concept aspires to provide visitors with an engaging experience that transcends traditional retail settings. With the design elements and a focus on adopting social interaction and community engagement, the concept aims to offer a memorable and immersive space that captures the essence of a bustling urban transportation hub. The urban fabrics of train stations inspired the interior design with design elements conveying a sense of authenticity and the timeless essence of a train station journey bringing the idea of “Urban-hood” vision to life. The interior design aesthetic has garnered the attention of an urban train station vibe. The combination of rich hazelnut wood texture, dark bronze metal details, concrete texture and raw terracotta bricks are selected to evoke a lavish yet utilitarian look and feel of urban train stations. Highlighting the arc forms on columns and ceiling panels, and the bricks-like flooring details lend a sense of aesthetic authenticity to the space. The selection of materials and colour palettes, forms, details, furnishing and lighting echo the durability and elegance of creating a space that evokes the curiosity of a contemporary rawness urban ambience.
