Precedent history
Estudio Mariscal was asked to participate on the project through the environment design that could transmit a new atmosphere and give character to a new commercial space at the city of Shenzhen. We have created a bright and fresh language that reflects the playful spirit of Happy Harbour and lives together with the architecture. The site is divided in two areas of mixed uses where we can find a commercial mall, cultural facilities, residential buildings, offices, hotels or even an Imax theatre. Bars, cafeterias and restaurants are also part of the offer. The visual identity proposed by Estudio Mariscal tries to fit together all the diversity of activities through a unique language clear and legible at first sight that will be the guideline through interior and exterior spaces.
Inside the commercial mall
Two interventions halfway from architecture to sculpture that will be placed at strategic points inside the commercial mall. These will appear as reference points, wow effects that will catch the attention of the customers, give rhythm and offer a different approach to the shopping tour.
The Sculpture at the Central Atrium
The leading role at the central Atrium is for the hanged sculpture. A group of textile leaves made with metal tubes and fabrics that fall down and give a sense of lightness and movement. The same language seeking for the coherence in all the interventions.
The exterior signage system
Soft lines, bright colors and organic shapes are the criteria that design the new signage system. This group of sculptural totems orients the customers and display the information but at the same time create the perfect atmosphere for the new identity.
I was the architect and project leader while working at Estudio Mariscal. Creation and graphic concept by Javier Mariscal. I was in charge of the development, project management, coordination of internal team and external collaborators as well as liaisons with the client.
