Vanke Peace Impression City in Tianjin

The northern end of Jinjie Stree on Heping Road was once the Wanda Plaza on Heping Road. As the first generation product of Wanda, the order-based business model created by Wanda once enjoyed unlimited scenery. In recent years, the Wanda Plaza on Heping Road has sunk with the decline of Jinjie Street on Heping Road. With the sudden withdrawal of Parkson in 2015 and the closure of Wal-Mart's lease in 2018, it is no longer a prosperous scene in the past, but a lot deserted.

Tianjin Peace Impression City was transformed under the background. A commercial complex reconstructed on top of four vacant buildings is independent of each other and integrated. Tianjin classical architectural elements are extracted from the foreign building culture and traditional wharf characteristics in the concession, and the design language is reconstructed with modern materials and emerging technologies, which has become a spiritual landmark showing the ecology, fashion, humanity and vitality of the new city.

The project is located in the core area where the old and new cultures blend in Tianjin, and expresses the source and culture of the city with modern artistic techniques. For architectural vocabularies, the classical elements with unique characteristics in Tianjin, such as arches and skintled brick work, are extracted. Modern materials, technology and more commercially attractive design techniques are used for expression and to provide corresponding theme space and business content internally, in order to create Tianjin cultural and spiritual landmarks and activate the business districts along the streets of the city.

From the appearance point of view, the classical arch elements combined with modern techniques, materials and innovative skills are used to show the evolution and prospect from the past to the future, fully integrates into the local city appearance, and also takes on a new look to meet the characteristics and trends of the current commercial image. From the spatial point of view, the Victory Park in the combination center of four buildings forms a large circular moving line, which drives the flow of commercial people and provides a good commercial interface for all shops, thus solving a large number of original dead corners/cold areas. Finally, innovative and popular commercial stores such as space/dream box are introduced as the core focus to attract people and drive other small- and medium-sized commercial formats and brands.

Tianjin Peace Impression City promotes the rejuvenation of the traditional business district of the city with the power of reshaping. Behind it is the grasp and judgment of Peace Impression City on the development context of the city and the trend of younger consumption. Under the collision between the historical heritage of the city and modern business concepts, it has contributed to the rise of a new commercial landmark at the city level.
