Ippolito Fleitz Group Entices Shoppers To China’s MixC Mall
2024 Best of Year Winner for Mall
MixC Mall, the massive retail establishment designed by Ippolito Fleitz Group, spanning 758,900 square feet and encompassing 360 stores, brings the glamor back to in-person shopping. The complex in Wuxi, China, was conceived as a sort of urban landscape, oriented around three six-story atriums in which dynamic features draw the eye up and enhance the visitor experience. Throughout, a neutral white canvas is accented with dark coppery-red details in the form of balustrades and faceted metal panels cladding the undersides of escalators and balconies that shimmer like water reflections. In the lower-level food court, the ceiling seems to drip, and seating units resemble river rocks, while the double-height Moon Garden, an event space that hosts performances and exhibitions, captivates with a semicircular light element that’s mirrored in the stainless-steel ceiling above, evoking a glowing lunar orb.
