WF Central

Beijing, China

Located at Wangfujing Dajie in the heart of Beijing, WF CENTRAL is a luxury flagship commercial centre and an architectural landmark for high-end retail and fashion brands.

The “three strata” in design reflect the traditional Chinese architectural composition – base, bay and roof. It is also organized as a series of 8 smaller buildings interlocked with each other around a huge central atrium to form Beijing’s premier luxury district. To pay tribute to the Forbidden City, the building massing steps down from east to west in a gesture of respect to the Forbidden City. WT is the Lead Consultant and Executive Architect for the project in partnership with Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) as the Design Architect.
