Nongfu Spring

The site sits at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Zhonghua Street, connected to two metro lines and surrounded by ten shopping centres. The brief was a temporary brand space for a mass-market water brand that needed to feel premium enough for the MixC audience.

The sunken plaza is a threshold between the street, the mall and the metro. It has high footfall but little atmosphere. The project treats that gap as an opportunity.

How can a national water brand become a local, spatial experience?

The perimeter is drawn as a series of abstract arcs, recalling the Changbai Mountain ridge. Inside, circular display stands act as rock pores, breaking the plan into a landscape of islands. The palette is mineral and vegetal; the lighting is soft. The store is conceived as a walk-through image, not a shelf.

The section uses a repeated arch to create a clear rhythm from the street. The visitor moves through a compressed threshold into a taller, brighter room, then back out to the plaza.

A temporary brand room that turns a product origin into a spatial atmosphere. The pop-up is designed to be photographed and shared, but its first job is to make a familiar product feel newly specific.
