Yueda 889 Plaza & Center

NEBULA

Yueda 889, completed in 2010, is a mixed-use project in Shanghai's Jingan district, consisting of a 35-story Class A office tower and a lifestyle shopping center. The design aims to "de-mall" the retail component by creating a multi storied open rotunda covered by a free-form, sky lit glass and steel "cloud", leaving the rest of the retail galleria open to the exterior in pleasant weather. The project is a successful experiment in the integration of shopping and leisure to the adjacent urban fabric without resorting to the pre-conceived notion of hermetically sealed malls.
