The shopping mall boasts restaurants, a cinema, and Hong Kong’s largest ice rink. Lighting brings a strong design sensibility to commercial areas executed on a large scale. The lighting concept for the shopping mall emphasizes the identity of its diverse program, as well as orientation throughout the building. Inside of the shopping mall, wave-like forms emanate light, composing a river which is identical on every floor. In addition, a canyon is devised from breaks in the ceiling which also shed light, yet their design changes on each level.
