Benoy's Suzhou Center Mall is the largest mall in Suzhou and boasts the world's largest free-form monocoque roof. Featuring an undulating multi-coloured roof, it is the world’s largest free-form monocoque roof at over 36,000m2; its silhouette emulating phoenix wings to signify Suzhou’s growth taking flight. Comprised of seven storeys, six of which being above ground and one retail basement level, the mall is a new city landmark. 

Suzhou Center Mall boasts 60,000m2 of lush greenery across its numerous outdoor terraces, rooftops and the landscaped cantilever bridges that extend from two ends of the mall to the lakefront. A 45-metre-wide and 25-metre-high water curtain adorns the mall’s façade facing Jinji Lake. In front of the western entrance is a 1,600m2 semi-outdoor courtyard, the designated venue for large-scale public events. 

Two giant LED screens – each measuring 20 metres in height and 70 metres in width – artfully integrate with the design of the monocoque roof and offer stunning picture quality when turned on. Suzhou Center Mall is designed as a green oasis that meets local and international design and sustainability standards. Source by Benoy. Info project https://goo.gl/Xx6Jf7
