“Resort village lifestyle” is the key word for the concept of Shunde OCT Harbour Plus, which means providing a human scale comfortable neighborhood with respect to the vernacular language of Shunde. The O'Plaza shopping mall massing is carefully broken down into smaller scale elements on its southern facades. This allows it to be integrated with the many other village buildings. This creates a seamless connection from the village to the shopping mall street experience. The mall is meant to embrace the natural landscape into its executed interior design. There are many spaces that people feel outdoors even though they are inside the mall. The natural light, vibrant interior landscape, interior watercourse, and views to the exterior provide visual connection to the internal waterways of the village which lead to the lake. The roof top of the mall is designed as a green roof garden.
