The project

PH Alpha Design worked with SCPG Group on the planning and concept design for Incity, an existing 109,085 square metre shopping centre at the heart of Tianjin's century-old business district. The aim was to bring the building back to life and give the city a new public face.

A shimmering façade of white and patterned tiles with arched windows wraps the building, glowing with light at night. Landscaped terraces, stairs and a curved garden plaza at the entrance invite people in. It reopened in May 2023.
