Upper East Retail Podium

Kowloon, Hong Kong  |  2018


The Upper East retail podium wills to become the new generation department store, Soda Mall, aimed at the younger millennial customer group. As a retail façade, ARK designed the elevation as a composition of projecting sign boxes with varying depths to enhance the retail experience of the mall. The layered boxes are made up of several layers of patterned glass to further enhance a layering texture of the façade. At night, the boxes light up to reveal the glass patterns, forming an exciting backdrop to the plaza in front.
