1.0关于该项目About the project

相城天街与北苏州核心商圈“未来环”紧密相连，苏州相城区区政府，商业、教育、金融、生态等资源汇聚于此。相较于之前的天街项目，本案则瞄准“城市品质生活中心”目标定位，为消费者提供更为新颖、便捷、优质的购物体验，满足社交空间和特色体验活动等多元化需求。MEGA作为龙湖集团商业迭代的第一个全新升级体验空间，她开创了独一无二的天街，在室内高区L5-L6层创新打造了苏州首个超3000㎡的跨层式城市自然岛屿 ——“沐光岛”，强调了该项目社交和体验等新模式、新业态的独特属性。

Xiangcheng Paradise Walk is seamlessly connected to the "Future Ring" of North Suzhou’s central business district, a hub of commerce, education, finance, and ecological resources supported by the Xiangcheng District Government. Unlike previous Paradise Walk projects, this one is positioned as an "urban lifestyle center," aiming to deliver a fresher, more convenient, and high-quality shopping experience that meets diverse consumer needs for social spaces and unique experiences. As the first upgraded MEGA experiential space under Longfor Group's commercial evolution, it has established a unique Paradise Walk with an innovative feature on its upper floors, L5-L6—the first cross-level, 3,000+ square meter urban natural island in Suzhou, named " Moon Island ". This island emphasizes the project's distinctive new social and experiential formats and offerings.

2.0设计挑战Design challenge

在古典园林之城苏州做一个现代生态时尚购物中心是设计师面临的挑战！

The challenge for the designers was to create a modern, eco-fashion shopping center in the classical garden city of Suzhou!

江南水乡，园林之城，这是很多人对苏州的第一印象，本案设计概念「水舞林涧」，融合苏州古典园林的典雅之水与相城区的生态之水，平静、舞动、澎湃……呈现一处流动的繁盛景象，让过去、现在与未来在这里对话。空间的动线、功能、业态和体验围绕舒适自然的社交场景展开。

Suzhou is often first remembered for its water towns and classical gardens. The design concept for this project, “Dancing Waters in Forested Streams”, harmoniously combines the elegance of Suzhou’s classical garden waters with the ecological waters of Xiangcheng. It flows from calm to lively to exuberant, creating a vibrant scene where past, present, and future come together. The spatial layout, functionality, business formats, and experiences all create comfortable, natural social spaces.

3.0独特之处Unique features

本案设计灵感源自「水舞林涧」，涧：“山夹水也“，设计师申俊伟以流水来赋予这座横向近300米长的购物中心内部空间的景象。植入了江南水乡、园林苏州的城市基因，提取水流、山林等元素，贯穿至整个购物中心，水流舞动出曲折、起伏、扭动的丰富层次幻化出多功能空间，将业态组合和共享场景融入到环形动线之内，构筑一道道流动的风景，形成鲜明的视觉记忆和冲击力，游逛其中，犹如被流淌的水所环绕。

The design of this project is inspired by “dancing waters in forested streams” running down valleys between mountains. Designer Junwei Shen has envisioned the interior of this nearly 300-meter-long shopping center as a flowing tapestry of water. The essence of Suzhou’s water towns and classical gardens has been embedded into the design, incorporating elements of flowing water and mountain forests throughout the space. The water flows gracefully, creating rich layers of curves and undulations that transform into multifunctional areas. This arrangement integrates diverse business offerings and shared spaces within a circular flow, constructing dynamic scenes that leave a strong visual impact. Wandering through the center feels as though one is enveloped by the flowing water itself.

购物中心的七个商业楼层分成了四大主题空间：水韵T台、沐光岛、水巷飞船、相食。

The shopping mall's seven commercial floors are divided into four themed spaces: Water Runway, Moon Island, Water Lane Spaceship and For Food.

步入室内，主中庭「水韵T台」蜿蜒流动的水流韵律和纯净的白色贯穿了整个空间，将主次中庭、连廊、平台融为一体，站在主中庭仰望，仿佛置身于水的漩涡之中，被水流所环抱。通过曲线之间的交接、扭转、围合，形成具有强烈律动感的活动平台空间，既呼应了周围空间肌理，也丰富了视野交互关系。

Upon entering, the main atrium, known as the Water Runway,features a flowing design of water and pure white elements that unites the primary and secondary atriums, corridors, and platforms. Looking up from the atrium feels like being enveloped in a whirlpool, surrounded by the gentle embrace of water. The interplay of curves creates a dynamic activity space that resonates with the surrounding textures while enhancing visual engagement throughout the space.

位于高区的L5-L6层的MEGA空间——沐光岛，是苏州首个超3000㎡的跨层式城市“自然岛屿“，在封闭的盒子里打造出岛屿森林般的场景，整个空间犹如水流冲刷出的“岛屿”，大小不一，自由分布。多个形体相互交错、咬合、叠加，形成了店铺、露台、庭院……阳光透过玻璃天顶照射进室内，眼前秘境森林般的空间生机盎然， 让休闲、聚会、社交更加放松,亲近自然。为了有效引导人流漫游整个空间，布局了内、外双动线，内部主动线由高低起伏的“S”型曲线串连起岛铺，并穿过岛铺向外延展。外部次动线构筑了边铺的环形秩序，竖向动线则是由三处楼梯将五、六楼连通。交互的动线，让“沐光岛”形成了一个舒适的漫游体系。

Situated on levels L5-L6, the MEGA space called Moon Island  is Suzhou's first cross-level urban "natural island," spanning over 3,000 square meters. This enclosed area mimics a forest island, featuring spaces that resemble islands sculpted by flowing water, varying in size and freely distributed throughout the space. The overlapping forms create shops, terraces, and courtyards, while sunlight pours through the glass skylights, breathing life into the vibrant, nature-inspired environment that fosters relaxation, socializing, and a connection to the outdoors. To optimize foot traffic flow, the layout incorporates dual circulation paths. The primary internal path, characterized by undulating "S"-shaped curves, links the island shops and extends outward, while the external secondary path forms a circular arrangement around the perimeter. Three staircases connect the fifth and sixth floors vertically. This interactive circulation creates a seamless roaming experience within the "Island of Light."

而沐光岛的一侧，巨幕玻璃窗外，看到的是城市公共空间 “未来环”，她呼应了整个商圈。

Expansive glass windows on one side offer views of the urban public space known as the "Future Ring," enhancing the overall ambiance of the commercial district.

「水巷飞船」是为儿童打造的一个探索未来的专属空间，镶嵌在中庭的“宇宙飞船”，是孩子们的乐园。

“Water Lane Spaceship” is an exclusive space for children to explore the future. It features a “spaceship” embedded in the atrium that serves as a paradise for children;

负一楼的美食宝藏，与「For food相食」相遇天街之下，如跨越时空的“七里山塘”，整个美食街呈河路并行的格局，店铺像是“波光粼粼的河面，泛舟点点”，游走、停留，来领略姑苏城的繁华市井。

On the lower level, the culinary treasure trove awaits. The For Food zone beneath the Paradise Walk evokes a time-traveling experience reminiscent of the “Seven-mile-long Shantang." The food street features a layout that flows like a river, with shops reflecting "the shimmering surface of water adorned with boats." Visitors can stroll and pause, fully immersing themselves in the vibrant energy of Suzhou's bustling street life.
