"Snow-World Shopping Mall" is located in the Suzhou High-Tech Zone, surrounded by prestigious universities and adjacent to the beautiful Taihu Lake. The design concept aims to cater to the needs of diverse customer groups by arranging commercial layouts according to different times and scenarios throughout the day. From the invigorating morning energy, the relaxing midday break, to the romantic moments at sunset, each time period offers a unique experience.
Additionally, considering the indoor ski resort as a distinctive feature within the mall and its location away from the city center, "Snow-World" strives to create a rejuvenated lifestyle destination along the shores of Taihu Lake, offering an urban micro-vacation experience.
In terms of design, natural elements such as water patterns from the shores of Taihu Lake are integrated into the space through line representations. This contrasts with the cold atmosphere of the indoor ski resort while warm-toned wooden colors are adopted for the overall commercial space, creating a cozy and welcoming ambiance. By perfectly blending natural beauty with modern commerce, "Snow-World" aims to become a landmark building not only in Suzhou but also across a broader region, distinguished by its unique charm as a comprehensive leisure, entertainment, and shopping hub.
