The result is a re-imagined, reconfigured project. The retail spaces were brought forward to meet the street and interior spaces were pulled back away from the street at the second level. The building massing is broken down and made more accessible. A bold new front elevation offers optimum transparency making a strong connection to the city. The mixed-use building is comprised of retail, commercial and office spaces along with subterranean parking. The new design enhances the visibility / accessibility for each retailer. The re-imagined building possesses an iconic presence and (re)establishes a strong connection with the city  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Yu Li  Image Courtesy © Matt Malberger
