Changsha Dream City is located at a dense residential district in Changsha with the aim to rejuvenate the zone into a thriving Retail and Entertainment destination. Youthful exuberance and vitality is the prime driver for this mixed-use development that includes a 100,000 sm retail mall and an outdoor lifestyle center twice as large. The design language plays up modernist urban vocabularies that embrace and re-interpret traditional design sensibilities in contemporaneous formats. Historical antecedents and contexts coexist with present day complexities to create an ever-evolving urban destination of fun, fashion and food.
