Yinxi River, located in the W2 plot of Luhu Ecological City in Tianfu New District, Chengdu, is a block project with 100000 square meters of commercial space. It creates a multifunctional public space in the urban environment, providing leisure space along the river and a park that integrates natural green vegetation. The project aims to create a new type of urban activity space, emphasizing a close integration with nature, with openness and ecology as the core. It innovatively designs and shapes commercial spaces, abandoning traditional design paradigms and symbols, and focusing on the creation of form logic and spatial atmosphere..

The retail area gradually steps down along the riverbank and is connected by continuous slope flow..

Children in the shallow spring area can play happily inside; People can meditate here in the Zen Lake; People can gather and experience the Central Waterfall; People can interact with water mist in the “fuzzy area” The speed, sound, and volume of water will guide different interactions with people. The riverside area provides a unique atmosphere for retail and allows urban residents to reconnect with natural rivers on a daily basis..
