From a traditional depot to a modern urban landmark situated at a stone’s throw from Universal Beijing Resort, the newly completed WANLI in Zhangjiawan injects vibrant energy into Beijing while emerging as a unique mixed-use destination with the surrounding hotel and cultural hub.
Inspired by the hanging garden of Babylon, the overall planning breaks away from traditional layout and form, and the commercial circulation is linked with the urban metro via the adjacent depot, achieving a harmonious and smooth connection between the development and the city. A 167,000 sq m shopping mall and 35,000 sq m 5-star hotel are designed to shield the existing depot, while green stepping terraces soften the building edges, blurring the indoor-outdoor boundary. The multi-layered outdoor event spaces, stepping green terraces and roof gardens seamlessly connect the whole development.
