Aura: Forest at the Edge of the Sky, designed with CDF and Dafeng, reimagines the atrium of Haikou’s duty-free complex into a five-story, hyper-fantastical space. Blending sculpture, light, and media, it transforms from day to night, reflecting the traditional Chinese concept of Qi. The design features interactive elements and bespoke furniture, celebrating Hainan's ecology and creating an immersive, socially engaging environment that redefines the shopping mall experience.
