Teemall

Teemall

Teemall is located in the center of Tianhe District, Guangzhou, adjacent to Tianhe Sports Center and Guangzhou Book Centre. It is a large-scale urban complex integrating a shopping mall, hotel, and office buildings, with a total construction area of 336,900 m². The first phase of the project includes the shopping mall and all basement levels, covering a total of 174,000 m², while the second phase, which includes a 39-story five-star hotel (832 rooms) and a 55-story office tower, is still under construction. The shopping mall houses large department stores, small specialty shops, as well as various dining and entertainment facilities, all arranged around a spectacular seven-story atrium. Escalators and skybridges that span the atrium create a rich and dynamic spatial experience. Pedestrian traffic can enter and exit the building on two different levels — the basement level can be accessed from the subway station or pedestrian underpass, while the ground floor is accessible from the sidewalk.

A sunken plaza is situated on the north side of Teemall, allowing trucks to directly access the basement level for cargo loading and unloading without interfering with the main entrance of the shopping mall. In terms of architectural design, Teemall adopts modern geometric composition techniques, with 45-degree diagonal lines and octagonal forms serving as the key motifs. The entire building features a façade composed of honeycomb aluminum panels and silver reflective glass, which not only echoes the design of the nearby Tianhe Sports Center venues but also creates a fresh and distinctive image with a strong modern feel, making it a regional “landmark.” The building’s entrance is adorned with granite, with attention given to both detailed design and environmental considerations.
