SHANGHAI, CHINA
Area : 38800 m²(Ro-Aa-Pa-Da = 76-4-1-0.43)
Architects: UNStudio
Year : 2016
Leads Architects : Ben van Berkel, Hannes Pfau
 DESIGN PURPOSE
• To provide a lifestyle destination for Shanghai’s young professionals
The design incorporates elements of ‘old Shanghai’ through geometry, pattern and materialisation and
combines these with a contemporary urban experience, thereby creating a destination with a distinctly
Shanghai feel.

SITE COMPOSITION

• Lane189 combines retail, restaurant and

office spaces in an organization
• Rearranges the typical mall into a vertical
city centre and
• Provides opportunities for shopping,
strolling, eating, gathering and relaxing.
• The existing qualities of the immediate
urban surroundings, which include small-
scale restaurants and boutique stores, are
reflected in the building that can be seen
from street level
Inside ,elements of street life are mixed with lifestyle retail features and are distributed throughout the building.
The organisation of the building encourages the visitor to stroll through and explore the different levels of the complex,
where retail spaces follow an open layout and are punctuated with small kiosks.
PROGRAMMED FACADE

The facade is designed to support the overall design concept of a programmed facade and to create depth for
the building envelope.
The use of multi-layered components enables a variety of views towards the surroundings, whilst
simultaneously providing functional transparency in specifically located areas
A gradient transition from bigger to smaller
facade components regulates the exposure of
the inside to the outside and enhances the
main entrance of the building.

Based on a hexagonal grid, the facade components follow

the articulated geometry of the building and provide
constantly changing perspectives.
URBAN EYES

Large double-height facade openings present the interior programme to the

outside world.
These ‘urban eyes’ simultaneously create large display platforms for
products whilst providing balconies with views to the surroundings.
INTERIOR

• Has central void which cuts through the volume from

base to top and is punctuated by a series of rounded
plateaus.
• When seen from below the rounded plateaus resemble a
cohesive layered organic structure, however when
looking down from above the programmes of the
plateaus are revealed.

These smaller pockets, positioned in a rotational

manner, create intimate plazas and are visually
connected to the urban eyes of the facade.
• The central void further organises vertical circulation and orientation
• creates view across the different levels and facilitates a clear view
column from the second basement level up to the skylight art installation.
