Shopping Park Urban Renewal

Garden Room Revival

Shopping Park is located in Shenzhen’s bustling business district, adjacent to the impressive Ping An International Financial Center and COCO Park Shopping area. Once a central park, rapid urbanization led to disorganized food and beverage businesses in the area.

TOPOS spearheaded the transformation of Shopping Park, reimagining it as a vibrant public space. Organizational strategies focused on creating well-furnished outdoor rooms, lush gardens, and integrating commercial uses. Purpose-driven public spaces were designed alongside select restaurants and shops, unified by a cohesive garden network with diverse architectural features.

Most illegal expansions were removed, and the vacant space was transformed into unique garden rooms: the Arcade Garden, Banyan Tree Amphitheater, Traditional Cantonese Terraced Gallery, Green Shade Springs Garden, and the Flowering Sculpture Garden. Visitors can explore these spaces in a sequence, like opening gift boxes, featuring water, sculpture, and special plant arrangements.
