Suzhou Mixc Commercial Renovation

Suzhou China Resources China Central Place Commercial Renovation Project (MixC World) is located in Shilu Business District outside Changmen, Gusu District, Suzhou. It is a benchmark urban renewal project and the first MixC World in southern Jiangsu. Adopting the form of "Mall + garden-style open block", the facade renovation integrates traditional Suzhou texture of white walls and black tiles with modern glass curtain wall. It balances ancient city style control, commercial daylighting, energy saving and noise reduction, realizing aesthetic dialogue between ancient and modern architecture and reshaping urban interface of Gusu core business district.
