Upon our team's engagement with the project, the site's sophisticated renovation was nearing completion. Facing a tight deadline with just six months left for construction and a mere three months for design, our task was to revise approximately 75% of the original design plan and execute a comprehensive upgrade within the allocated budget. The stringent timeframe paired with the client's lofty expectations posed the greatest challenge. Transforming the original "linear" traffic flow into a dynamic, seamless, and tiered spatial arrangement to diversify the interior's layout presented another significant design hurdle.

Inspired by the concept of a "Blooming Stage," Fuzhou Vientiane City simplifies the complexity of the initial design, introducing cascading and fluid forms to spotlight the minimalist elegance of “white space.” This design creates a versatile blend of "artistic" and "curatorial" spatial scenes. Echoing the artist Brian O'Doherty’s vision in "Inside the White Cube," our focus on uncluttered space diverges from traditional shopping centers, merging innovation with aesthetic spaces. This approach not only accommodates the project’s timeline but also yields to curatorial and commercial needs, addressing the stringent requirements for launch dates and construction costs. The emphasis on white enhances the space's architectural beauty, allowing brands to flourish within an inclusive setting and offering visitors an immersive experience akin to that of an art museum.

As Fuzhou’s premiere LUXURY+ shopping center, MiXC Fuzhou pioneers the "City Art Museum" concept in commercial spaces, blending the tangible with the virtual under the aegis of art. Future collaborations with artists both domestic and international aim to enrich consumer experiences with cutting-edge artistic perspectives and un-paralleled aesthetics. Integrating "museum operation thinking" into the shopping center's management strategy not only attracts a plethora of international luxury brands—boasting 40% first-time entries and over 50% high-standard urban outlets—but also progressively influences the commercial trajectory of Fuzhou and its north-ern central regions. The symbiotic fusion of art, humanity, nature, and commerce reju-venates the city’s commercial spirit and unique art scenes, earning fervent acclaim and affection from the citizens of Fuzhou.
