Chengdu has been known as “Tianfu” since ancient times, and it is one of the earliest developed areas in the southwest. It has a history of more than 2,300 years. In the ancient times, the Chengdu Plain was the main capital city of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is the precipitation place of ancient and modern cultures for thousands of years. Today, Chengdu has developed into a financial, commercial, and educational center and transportation and communications hub in southwest China. The project address is located at the core of Xindu District in the north of Chengdu.

Retail spaces are evolving into lifestyle complexes that are inspiring, diversified and immersive to surround visitors with a curated experience to fulfil various lifestyle and social needs. Chengdu’s Xichen Paradise Walk in China, designed by LWK + PARTNERS, encourages social interaction and community life with high transparency and accessibility to bring together people, their neighbourhoods and nature. It is pilot project of the third-generation Paradise Walk brand, setting a new benchmark for future projects.
Xichen Paradise Walk is the retail component of an integrated complex in the heart of west Chengdu, bookended by an office tower and a serviced apartment tower also designed by LWK + PARTNERS and adjacent to the residential component. The architectural form features an interplay of geometric shapes, creating an iconic beacon-like façade. Addressing an important traffic intersection to the south west, the corresponding elevation features an urban-scale shop window designed for the ever-changing, large-scale installations and seasonal contents.

Superimpose transforms shopping mall into Chengdu inspired reconfigurable SOHO 3Q.
Superimpose transformed the 3rd and 4th floor of the 12,000 square meter, low occupancy but centrally located WIFC shopping mall into a large vibrant and creative platform for SOHO 3Q, China’s leading co-working office space developer.
The existing mall consists of two distinct zones: the curved and ‘fluid’ atrium zone, which connects to the other mall floors with the atrium void, and the more orthogonal shaped area situated underneath the high-rise office tower. Superimpose interpreted the two zones as separate worlds and themed them according to the two distinct characteristics of Chengdu: the ‘Land of Abundance’ and the ‘Man Made City’.
Comfortably perched at the eastern end of a green corridor in Chengdu’s Tianfu New District, TIANFU ONE Exhibition Gallery enjoys panoramic views of the Luxihe wetland park just across the road. LWK + PARTNERS leveraged its proximity to both urban life and natural greenery to craft an observation deck culminating at the end of the city’s main artery.
The project design is guided by a discreet respect for the local landscape, producing a circulation plan that is aligned with the city’s axis, landmarks and vegetation pattern. Such a treatment by LWK + PARTNERS not only promotes the project’s function as a public facility, but transformed a tricky height difference of the site into an architectural feature.

Chengdu Bo’ya City Plaza designed by Aedas, is set at the heart of Tianfu New District in Chengdu. Boasting distinctive elevations, it is considered a landmark of Chengdu “Xinchuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park” jointly founded by China and Singapore.
