Located in the Futian CBD area of Shenzhen sitting on the central axis of the district, The Link CentralWalk is surrounded by a network of financial institutions, civic and retail centres and convenient transportation. Futian is on the cusp of a new and exciting era after decades of rapid development, and as a prominent destination in the area, The Link CentralWalk was renovated to meet the new standard.
Aedas has taken up the task to enhance Link REIT’s first large-scale asset in Mainland China and one of the largest shopping malls in the region.
Positioned as an “urban paradise on the central axis of Futian”, the project provides a sensory journey where visitors could immerse themselves in a “slow space”. The cyclical nature of the four seasons inspired the zoning of CentralWalk, in which visitors are afforded to stroll effortlessly along the retail wings or to access the surrounding urban space from either direction. Based on sectors’ spatial qualities, four seasons themed areas (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) are created, with corresponding color and greenery application. Besides still visual scenes, specific aroma, background music, interactive projection system, snow blower are applied to heighten visitors’ senses, submerging them into an environment full of nature and wonder.
