Chapman Taylor’s interior design for Wuyue Plaza shopping mall in Urumqi, China

Chapman Taylor has designed the interiors for a new 5-storey shopping mall in Urumqi, Northwest China.

With 45,057 m2 of retail and leisure space, Wuyue Plaza is located in the strategically important transportation hub of Shuimogou District and the Hongguangshan convention and exhibition centre.

The design concept for the mall interiors focuses on natural illumination from skylights and naturally stylized atriums to reflect mountains, lakes, and deserts. Every floor has its own special theme, such as a floating city, a future garden, 'air' island, an interstellar walk, and a time tunnel.

The development is under construction and is expected to complete in 2022.
