A huge success since opening, K11 Wuhan in China proves that brick-and-mortar retail can thrive with the right amenity-driven design, an inherent sense of fun, and an eye on the future. Verticality was one of the driving ideas behind the retail planning, encouraging visitors to go upward and explore. Designers achieved this by strategically placing vertical landmarks as well as floor-specific landmarks throughout the mall and also connecting to the adjacent mall via an external bridge.
