‘SKYLAND UNIVERSAL’ is a vibrant new dining precinct that has transformed the former food court area of the MixC Hangzhou retail destination.
The project which spans 3,500 sqm combines luxury, functionality and natural aesthetics to create a multi-sensory culinary precinct that is seamlessly integrated within the existing development.
The approach elevated the dining experience at MixC Hangzhou into an artistic experience, revitalising overlooked areas and encouraging new commercial viability.
Lead8’s design philosophy draws inspiration from the natural energy of the city’s Qiantang River. Known for its dramatic tidal surges, the river is captured through organic motifs and flowing lines that harmonise the repositioned space with MixC Hangzhou’s existing features.
Sustainability plays a central role in this transformation. Lead8 retained the existing stone flooring to minimise waste and selected eco-friendly materials to achieve a balance between luxury and environmental responsibility.
Lead8’s design demonstrates how innovative redesigns can transform conventional and pre-existing spaces into lively social hubs that enrich user experiences and maximise commercial potential.
