The City’s Most Dynamic, High‑quality Social‑life Destination

In December 2025, Yaohai Tiandi, a new‑born commercial complex, grandly opened in the old town of Yaohai, Hefei. It offers local residents a brand‑new cutting‑edge venue for shopping, entertainment, culture and leisure, and injects strong momentum into the commercial upgrading and high‑quality regional development of Yaohai District.

Built on the original site of Hefei Motor Factory founded in 1956, the project adopts a hybrid typology of “Mall + Factory Building + Street Block”, delivering a new interpretation of local urban culture and lifestyle. For its commercial interior design, PHA integrates local cultural heritage with modern design vocabulary. Through spatial reconstruction and circulation optimization, an open, multi‑layered layout system is established.

Interlinked bridges, courtyards and alleys interpenetrate one another, with light and shadow shifting across surfaces. This creates a constantly‑changing spatial experience blending solid forms and voids, taking visitors on a sensory journey linking urban memories and contemporary life.

The commercial interior design of Hefei Yaohai Tiandi re‑interprets urban memories and future‑oriented living. As space acts as a medium connecting people and the city, consumption evolves from functional transactions to participation and sharing. Amid flowing light‑shadow and continuously extending circulation paths, Hefei’s local identity is re‑defined, giving rise to a forward‑looking model of urban life.
