10 Design, (part of Egis’ Architecture Line), unveils CR Land’s Hangzhou Chengbei MixC – a new commercial landmark set to redefine the city's future Central Business District.

Located in the emerging Liangzhu New Town of northern Hangzhou, CR Land’s Chengbei MixC comprises a Grade-A office tower and a 160,000 square-meter shopping mall. Woven in the dense network of water ways and green spaces, the site’s unique urban setting has inspired the functional layout of the development, and its vision to create intimate connections between people, built environment, and nature.

Drawing inspiration from Hangzhou's picturesque streams and mountains, the design seamlessly blends nature throughout the site. The podium's green terraces and open staircase evoke the image of gemstones nestled within rugged rock formations, while the glass boxes artfully juxtaposed against stone cladding add depth and contrast to the façade.

An open retail street links the retail podium, office tower, MTR station, residential areas, and adjacent public park, embodying the essence of a connected urban sanctuary. Water features woven throughout the site further enhance the ambiance, transforming the retail street and entrance plaza into a vibrant public space that offers a unique biophilic experience.

“The retail street is to provide an enhanced pedestrian experience between key functional space and amenities in the area” shared Chin Yong Ng, Design Principal — Retail, “Blended with alfresco dining, interactive landscape features and art installations, it will invite footfall to the shopping mall and injecting vitality into the area.”

Rising 285 meters into the Hangzhou skyline, the office tower sets a new precedent as the district's tallest structure, offering breathtaking views of the urban green spaces and cityscape beyond. The tower's sleek and contemporary design prioritizes flexibility, catering to the diverse needs of startups and established corporations alike.

"As a pilot project of the district’s ambitious development plan, Chengbei MixC is to become a transformational force of the future CBD,” shared Design Principal, Peby Pratama, “Our design creates a live-work activity centre where round-the-clock programmes will be offered to serve the office workers, shoppers, and the residential communities nearby.”
