About The Entry

Shanghai Shuiguo Tangquan Life (Wujiaochang Store) spans a total area of 14,000 square meters, embracing a philosophy of “returning to origins” and escaping the bustle of the city. It incorporates the concept of an “urban walk,” where the spacious plaza-style layout and organically shaped spaces elevate the relaxing and therapeutic atmosphere.

The design is centered around the theme of "falling into the womb," evoking the primordial experience of life’s beginning. By carving out natural forms and traversing through the fissures of time, it uncovers the spiritual rituals of life’s origin, symbolizing a new dimension of urban healing. A cracked celestial canopy represents the origin of life, revealing the warm glow inside the womb, nurturing the very start of existence.

Through a sensory narrative, the space immerses guests in the primordial beauty, with flowing, graceful, and private themes evoking a multi-sensory experience that awakens the six senses. By unlocking a realm of mental escape with the "phantom of time and space," the design offers more than just a visual feast; it continuously provides diverse functions such as sleep pods, gaming zones, and shops, creating a one-stop 24-hour refined experience. This seamless blend of features upgrades the concept of leisure and vacation to a new level.
