The project is located in the heart of the Fenghuang residential area in Suzhou and combines a variety of functions, including a shopping center, residential towers, commercial streets, hotel, and an entertainment center.
These function areas are connected by an internal pedestrian street that runs from north to south and is lined with courtyards and plazas.
The commercial street features a façade made up of glass with a Chinese grid pattern, wood bars, and white columns, creating a simple and elegant style that harkens back to traditional Chinese commercial streets of the past.
