Production Technology
Designers filled the space with modern luxurious elegance. Under the high black metallic ceiling are three different floor tiles, including the hexagonal Cementine tiles that embody the charm of the Italian design, to demarcate different zones. The use of sliding doors in black grid for all shops gives the whole environment a homogeneous and timeless atmosphere. The materials were slick and sleek, a generous amount of space is dedicated to exhibit contemporary art pieces.
Design Challenge
Since the project is in the basement, the ceiling height is low because of architectural limitation. The team have tackled this issue by opening the ceiling to preserve the full height. All of the lights and decoration are secured by the metal grid, which create a chic diamond-shaped pattern on the ceiling. The lighting is warm and not particularly bright to achieve an intimate feeling in the common space, ensuring the shops on both sides are highlighted.
Project Duration
The project started in 2016 and finished in August 2019 in Hong Kong.
Operation Flow
The food court occupies nearly half of the space in B2 level. As walking through the shops, the customer will reach the Food Playground. The seating is different in wooden colours and the chair designs are specially tailored for diversified groups of customers: the four remarkable structural pillars are arranged as bar setting for individuals or couples; small tables of four are scattered around the long wooden table for big families and friends. The vibe is relaxing and vibrant.
Research
K11 team paid special attention to the arrangement of the seating. Conventionally the food courts aim at maximizing the number of seating to cater to the high traffic of customers. Here the team have studied the pattern of customers. As the site is located in the city center with numerous tourists, the customers usually come in as couple, family and groups of friends. Therefore the team have break up the seats with tables, benches or bars counter so that customer can enjoy their space as they like.
Inspiration
Taking inspiration from the Northern Galleria such in Italy with the iron and glass architecture, it is a balance of the homage to the past and the transit towards the future. Iron and glass architecture is predominant in the 19th century, paving a new trend of shopping space. The design has incorporated modernized feature of metal and glass for the shop front, creating a standard platform for the shops to present their brands personality while maintaining the unique DNA of the shopping mall.
