Location: Hangzhou, China

Taking good care of personal health and staying comfortable in a space are growing priorities for today?s consumers, a trend that has intensified since the pandemic. The Zijing Paradise Walk retail mall is a considered response by architectural practice LWK + PARTNERS.

With culture and wellness as the central themes, this new community shopping centre rests next to the Wulitang River in West Lake district in Hangzhou, China. It offers diverse leisure and wellness facilities spread across interlocking spaces, which are also well integrated with the key essence of ancient Hangzhou?s Hui-style architecture, embodying a sense of simplicity, elegance and preserved heritage.
Zijing Paradise Walk has recently been recognised as RLI Most Anticipated Opening 2020 at the Global RLI Awards, which celebrates the most visionary and innovative retail and leisure concepts from across the globe. Its architectural concept also won a bronze award in the prestigious 12th International Design Award in 2018.

Reinventing local architecture

The overall design of the retail mall captures the elegance and conciseness of traditional Hui-style architecture with playful modern design language.
