武汉K11购物艺术中心

Wuhan K11 Art Mall stands at 628 Jiefang Avenue in Qiaokou District, at the junction with Liji North Road, and is K11's flagship for central China. The scheme reworks a department store that had traded for about twenty years; Hassell designed the retail interiors and landscape. Hall II and Avenue 11 opened on 12 December 2020, and Hall I followed on 30 April 2021, completing the project. The retail area is about 43,000 sq m, with K11 Atelier offices above, and music is the unifying theme, from the entrance plaza to the atrium installations. Three interconnected circular chambers organise the plan — a pink accessories hall, a five-storey yellow toy hall and a sci-fi blue technology hall — with shops wrapped around the voids so that visitors are drawn upward, and a footbridge links the neighbouring block. Art is distributed throughout the mall rather than confined to a gallery, alongside chi K11 art museum and K11 Art House; 35 per cent of tenants were new to Wuhan or central China at opening. Liji North Road station on metro line 1 is a short walk away, Hankou railway station about ten minutes by car, and the wider area includes the Wuhan Plaza and Henglong retail clusters.
