Chongqing Bay BG Plot Project
Project Summary
Location: Chongqing, China
Area: 100,547 m²
Service: Concept Design
The Chongqing Bay BG Plot Project is located within Chongqing Bay, a municipal key project and a model of central–local government cooperation in Chongqing. The project aims to create a modern, open, and scenographic commercial district that integrates retail, dining, cultural experiences, and leisure entertainment, exploring the expression of a waterfront lifestyle within an international metropolitan context.
Chongqing Bay occupies the finest vantage point along Nanbin Road for viewing the city's iconic mountain-and-river landscape, with the waterfront and hinterland centered around the Danzishi Square to Ciyun Temple area, commanding a 1.5-kilometer stretch of the south bank riverside. It is a rare super-large-scale comprehensive development in the core urban area of Chongqing's main city.
As the flagship commercial and waterfront retail component within the Chongqing Bay master plan, the BG Plot occupies a strategically critical node in the overall waterfront development framework. Conceived as a vital vibrant node along the Nanbin Road waterfront interface, it also participates—within the broader Chongqing Bay master planning at a larger scale—in the construction of a future-oriented urban riverside living system. Under this framework, the waterfront space is no longer merely a scenic interface but is progressively transformed into a continuous sequence of everyday urban places.
We envision the project responding to the contemporary shift in retail from "functional consumption" to "emotional experience," seeking to integrate commercial space with daily urban life, public activities, and the ecological environment. The goal is to create a more open and socially interactive urban frontage, making it a composite venue that accommodates diverse lifestyles.
The design emphasizes connectivity with surrounding vacant plots and urban public nodes, shaping a waterfront commercial destination with strong regional identity. It strives for a more flexible balance between commercial efficiency and street-level experiential quality, while establishing a spatial framework with long-term adaptability to address the ongoing evolution of future consumption patterns.
