LIVAT Centre Changsha

Livat Changsha is the fifth development by Swedish group Ingka Centres to open doors in China. Following LIVAT centres common scheme, a full-size IKEA store is the anchor while the incorporation of Scandinavian design will give its own unique atmosphere.

The concept is based on “Scandinavian journey” with Scandinavian features such as the incorporation of a waterfall and a lighthouse, being built with representative materials of the culture. Following this minimal white and clean architectural style, the façade allows to give a hierarchy to the signage and is also broken into layers that reveal the different building level.
