Area-17 Architecture & Interiors cooperated with Alibaba Group to develop an innovative retail solution for Hema, its “Food Retail Space” brand. Freshippo at NECC – The new National Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai - is the result of a research aiming to create a proper retail model for high traffic areas, such us train stations, airports and exhibition centers. The project was completed in late 2018. Traversing two floors, it spans a total area of 2.700 square meters. Visited by millions of people, NECC is the perfect location for a commercial environment unifying the brand’s core values and an experimental approach to retail and hospitality.Indeed, both “supermarket” and “convenience store” are no longer proper definitions for this kind of space, as it offers a much wider range of products and services. Freshippo is a hyper-branded store acting as a link between the onsite and the online experience, traditionally Alibaba’s core business. Freshippo is a tridimensional expression of the brand’s visual identity: the iconic Hema’s cyan blue identifies the store from the façade. Inside, visitors find a space organized around Hema’s iconic mascot, from the brand identity corner with hippo-inspired gadgets to the cyan blue inserts combined with more warm and relaxing wooden finishing. Flying bags on the ceiling uncovers part of the complicated system that allows customers to receive products directly delivered to their fair booths, when ordering through the Hema app. The first floor offers packaged food & drinks, as well as “pick & go” freshly cooked dishes, for visitors who need to grab something fast and get back to the busy fair. The second floor is an F&B oriented space inspired by traditional markets, with several seating areas with focus on different purposes, among which the most innovative and spectacular area is certainly the Robot Restaurant.
Design innovation
The store layout is specifically designed for transit spaces aiming to maximize the efficacy of the shopping experience. Low shelves and wide aisles facilitate a quick and easy customer journey, as the several self-check-out registers. But the most innovative area is certainly the Robot Restaurant on the upper floor, where the main and defining feature is the automated process by which meals are delivered from the kitchen to the final client. The customers arrive, sit down, scan a QR code to select their dishes through an app, robot drones will bring each dish from the kitchen straight to the table. Once the meal is done, just one input in the app, another robot will come and pick up the used dishes.
Consumer satisfaction
Central to the project is the variety of delivery methods offered that follows an order placed through the Hema app: from the restaurant accommodation to the pick-up, from the storage in a locker to the delivery within NECC. The Robot Restaurant is an answer to the challenges rising from Alibaba’s New Retail model of integrating the online, offline, logistics and data across a single value chain to create up-sale opportunities.From the shopping experience inside the store to the food&beverage offer on the upper level, clients and visitors of the convention center are provided with a wide range of solutions among which they can find heir best option to fulfill their expectations with an eye on speed and efficiency. Between the grab & go and the Robot restaurant there are several choices of more flexible and informal accommodation, providing seating areas with focus on different purposes, fast lunches, casual meals with friends and colleagues and more private areas for informal meeting. The project is completed by a food hall connected to the Robot Restaurant that hosts other tenants completing the food&beverage offer, with the possibility to pick up live fish or seafood and get them cooked on the spot.

Brand concept identification
In the case of the LENTOSCANA dessert store, we have completed a series of design contents, such as branding, IP creation, animation derivation, packaging design, space design, art project planning, etc. 1: Brand concept: LENTOSCANA was born in Tuscany, the central region of Italy. The name is a combination of Italian words "Lento" (slowly) and "Toscana" (Tuscany). It is old blood with a young face. The brand integrates the Renaissance slow food culture and the modern slow eating fashion, it integrates the dessert culture and nature, the necessity, and humanity. Our clients also take responsibility for cultural transmission and creative exchange in their business. LENTOSCANA hopes to convey the spirit of "accompaniment, growth, and nature" through the brand. 2: Concept communication: We use the Renaissance context and brand value system in the aspects of brand font design, brand image endorsement (famous Italy dog breed called "Bracco Italiano"), brand color, and so on. we convey the brand's attributes and the characteristics of cultural communication through the form (three-color arches), material (comparison of Italian and Chinese materials), and atmosphere (ancient cellar feeling)
Design innovation
We consider the relationship between vision and space, experience, commerce and art, then begin our design based on these perspectives. 1: Visual innovation: a complete IP image (Lele, Tuotuo, Meimei) was set up while establishing the brand, and IP extension and artistic expression of IP were also included in our consideration. 2: Space innovation: we use the comparison of "new" and "old" to express the differences between Italian desserts and the presentation of an "old" dessert in contemporary space. We hope to make customers step into another rhythm or another "world" through space creation. 3: Publicity and Innovation: In the process of designing the store, there are constant communications and transmissions, which reflects the feeling of the world being remote and close at the same time. Cannoli, a delicacy that is from Monica Bellucci’s remote Sicilian island, appears in Shanghai in its original flavor. We invited our friend Olga, a Russian dancer, to create a performance called "Encounter in the Universe".
Consumer satisfaction
We hope to improve consumers' understanding of the brand and consumption experience through the following dimensions. 1: Scene experience: we hope to give consumers a sense of visiting Italy in person, through color (nine arches with national flag colors), materials (wall texture of ancient cellar feeling), and the way of paving (feeling of Italian Square). 2: Shopping experience: we design the packaging form of products by imitating the opening way of the dog pulling action so that consumers can have more interaction with the brand. At the same time, it also conveys the brand concept interestingly. 3: Shopping process: consider customer experience from the whole process of consumption. It includes the introduction of the brand at the entrance, product display angle, purchase flow line, in-store rest form, and part of the photo scene to meet the customers' expectations.

We hope to use space to convey artistic conception and minimize decorative attachment. We use less multi-layer structure and simple decoration, and we express our artistic conception and texture by space itself.

Customers hope to get a simple and clean but high-level private space. According to the customer's ideas, they also carefully understand the brand's style positioning. "Changeable and layered simple space" is the first inspiration presented in the mind, in this 600 square space The sales space is divided into a sales space and a hidden office space, which is ingenious but simple and pure. The sales space of nuodai uses plane hanging board to separate the circuitous and interesting sales lines, which is full of atmospheric geometric lines. When we open a wall in the central area of the store, we turn it into an open space. When it is closed, it is a private quiet space for VIP customers to choose clothes , The selection of props is also one of the highlights of the concept store. The corner of the booth mixed with rock and marble is interesting and novel. The cashier is made of imported matte resin board with new international materials, and the props are set off by accessories. The high-grade powder nude color plays a role of decoration and softness in a high cold and simple atmosphere. The oval metal open and close display shelf is arranged orderly on a house type wall As a strong visual impact, mithridate selects super luxury display models to ensure the high quality of high-end customized dresses.

Tongrentang Zhima Health has created a complex functional system of healthy diet + medical center+ health examination + social entertainment. The designer has applied a large area of contrasting materials as solid wood and brass in the store. From the ground floor to upstairs, Zhima Health Concept Store has four themes as inquiry, food, convalescence and cure. The first floor consists of different functional areas, such as food therapy kitchen, tea bar, baking kitchen, coffee bar, wine bar and TRT products area, etc. Zhima Health concept store provides dietary supplements, nourishing & health food and even health care products that incorporate health tech, enabling customers to enjoy one-stop and immersive shopping experience. Besides, it also doubles as a new and comfortable social space for customers. Following the concepts of high quality, sense of participation and personal shopping experience, the brand-new retail model aims to meet the demands of consumption upgrade and improve the quality of customers’ lives rather than overturn the traditional retail style. Q: On what occasion did Tongrentang put forward the strategic transformation? A: Probably in 2014, Tongrentang seems to have encountered bottleneck. The selling form relying on traditional stores urgently needs to be changed, so the brand proposed a strategic transformation from products to services at that time. Q: How did the concept come to scheme and realization? A: After proposing the transformation, Tongrentang and we began field investigations at home and abroad. From retail to hotel and other formats, we have experienced almost every brand new store. And finally we focused on the trade form of hotel brand. So, the idea of creating an immersive experience space comes out. Q: What difficulties did you encounter in the process of planning? A: The first breakthrough lies in the initial investigation on retail industry and the final set of trade form. Secondly, the brand tried to find some well-known foreign design teams. However, because the foreign designers did not really understand the business model and accurate needs of the well-established domestic brands, they eventually failed to give a design plan. Later, when our team completed the overall design plan, many of the product lines that we are seeing now were developed backward from space design, and Tongrentang's almost perfect endorsement allowed this backward process to be realized.

Client is a high-end old department store brand established in 1998. We extracted from its inherent corporate image the broadness of “the sea embraces all rivers”, which is consistent with the concept of “harmony” in Chinese philosophy, and create a platform of “harmony between different people”, so the concept of “harmony” arises at the historic moment. At the same time, the western word “unity” can be combined to skillfully represent the Chinese ancient hieroglyphic “He”, so the name “Renhe market” was born. In the image design of the brand LOGO, extract the meaning of the hollow bamboo is like a valley, climb up, simplify its modelling, in order to symbolize benevolence and spring vigorous development. The ceiling and floor combined with the bamboo growth model to the central radiation, did not touch the central, constructing a state of that all things go well.

It refers to technology categories such as integrated wiring, network communication, security protection, automatic control, audio and video, which are to integrate life-related facilities and build efficient management system. It is a higher-level control method based on automation and information technology, which could achieve more complex and diversified communication between people and products, thereby improving the comfort of usage and user-friendly design, facing the future, and displaying the charm of high tech. It is an integrated service system that can meet private customization and any combination.
Design innovation
Based on the positioning of "smart life" and the fundamental demands of product exhibition, we propose the design concept of "module space", and use the "round corner module" as the basic carrier for experiencing the functional space, arranging the spatial blocks with unified form and different functions in a nested way to organize the linear space, so that the functional arrangement is clear and scientific. The clear visit experience enables the product advantages to be showed efficiently. The soft curved edges, the orderly integration of the module space, and the unified application of material tones also echo the positions of "modular", "integration", "freestyle", "technology" and "the sense of future " which are pursued by the call for "smart life ".
Consumer satisfaction
Based on the analysis of the functionality of the space and the usage habits of the crowd, our modularized space has been reorganized: the display window is located on the side of the entrance, giving out an open visual interface to the outside, and forming a relatively private space inside, which will make the brand image area and the guest area reasonably distributed according to the relationship of sights. The exhibition area booths could meet the needs of product display, and at the same time, they are curved lines and are placed in a misplaced position, so that the design could soften the boundaries. To a certain extent, the design also plays a role in limiting space and suggesting spatial dynamics. The "experience zone", the main body of the "shuttle", is reasonably expanded, and the living room with the best visual effect is arranged on the first interface to create a highly visual entrance experience.
Environmental protection
In order to reflect the sense of future technology in the space, and at the same time to highlight the product, in the overall material selection, the use of mixed oil wood finishes and epoxy floor paint creates a pure white space tone. The arc surfaces of the wall connections between the floors and the walls and the ceilings are made of galvanized square pipes to build the shape skeleton. The floor paint is digitally adjusted to achieve a colorless connection with the wall surface, providing participants with a sense of future high tech and an integrated feeling of indoor floor, ceiling and wall. This design will not be overwhelming, but will put stress fully on the product so as to maximize its characteristics.

Before RUMORS NEW BUND SOTRE, we conceived the "double R" logo, product packaging, and gift box for RUMORS, as well as the pop-up store in "2017 Shanghai Urban Space Art Season". We plan to organize an art dance drama about "commerce and art" and "shops during the COVID-19 " in RUMORS NEW BUND STORE. The communication of the design concept will not stop even the construction is completed. 1: Brand concept: Unlike many cafes in Shanghai, RUMORS has always insisted on baking the beans by themselves. There are many kinds of coffee beans, and they have their unique philosophy on baking beans and making drip coffee. The existing two stores are not large, in stead ,they aim to create an atmosphere of "friends & home". 2: Concept communication: In the shop design, we use a large roof installation to cover the main consumption space to convey the core concept of "home"; we use gray diatom mud to simulate the texture of Japanese style courtyard wall; we set up a "nostalgic area" at the end of the shop to recall the echo of the old store and the melancholy of "old friends".
Design innovation
1: Space installation idea: Use a large roof installation to solve the artistic conception requirements of the whole space --- the concept of "home". While satisfying the atmosphere expression, it also makes the overall construction, especially the ceiling operation easier. 2: Indoor and outdoor: the "indoor and outdoor" is built with the modeling of the courtyard wall and eaves, which makes the image of "home" under the eaves more intuitive. 3: The image of the chain store is coherent: a "nostalgic area" is set up at the end of the space, and the style echoes the owner's first shop in Shanghai. At the same time, it forms two kinds of deduction about "roof".

1: The possibility of sitting: we have set up low seats, medium-high seats, and high seats in the shop. At the same time, considering the characteristics of the surrounding crowd, we have arranged the sitting possibility of different groups. At the same time, according to the characteristics of consumers, different scenes such as "alone", "bar", "old friends" are arranged accordingly. 2: The possibility of seeing: based on combining with the surrounding environment, consumers of different sitting spaces can have different "viewing points". The reverse observation of the visual impact point is another kind of care for consumers. 3: The possibility of communication: in the whole space, we hope to pass on the "coffee baking culture" as well as the brand culture of RUMORS. For example, the display of coffee beans, the display of more than 30 categories on the product packaging, and the expression of four baking degrees of coffee beans in the product gift box. We hope to upgrade the culture behind the consumption.

The L-shaped bar increases the use of space and forms an enclosure that defines space for the barista and guests. The space uses three different materials of the same color to explore subtle changes in varying lighting. The aluminum cabinet panels, wallpapers and the ceiling paint interact with light, creating interesting visual effects in the space.

Brand concept identification
“HEYTEA LAB” is the brand's flagship store with presence in China's first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen and of course Guangzhou. Taking tea-drinking spaces as the medium, it aims to strengthen the connection with local culture and share the brand's story with young people. Taking cues from the local culture and leisurely lifestyle, the design team identified "tea house" as the theme of this store. The space selects Cantonese architectural elements that match the childhood memories of young people in Guangzhou to create a retro Nanyang style. The details of the staircase, installation and wall decoration have reached a tacit agreement with the young people, deepening the brand attributes in the hearts of the young people.
Design innovation
The ceiling is 9.7 meters high, so a conventional “Z”-shaped staircase may cause unpleasant experiences due to too many zigzags. Besides, it may take up too much space on the first floor, leaving little area for arranging seats. Based on those considerations, the design team took advantage of the height difference between the kitchen and the ceiling of the first floor, and eventually created an irregular staircase. Besides, HEYTEA DEPARTMET STORE,i.e. the area selling the brand’s derivatives, is placed at the foyer close to the street. It makes full use of the space under the stairs, and forms a small semi-enclosed area via the shelf and island counter, thereby generating a retailing atmosphere. The furniture is characterized by classical forms prevailing in the 1980s and 1990s. Both the improved tile floorings and the two kinds of bespoke handmade bricks on walls are replications of traditional materials and craftsmanship based on contemporary design. The door opening references the common form of doors and windows in traditional local arcade buildings, with its dark-colored decorative lines highlighting the "mark" of local buildings. The art installation features an exquisite and retro-style form, and shows varying visual effects via the triangular-prism-shaped structures of old-style signboards. Names of HEYTEA’s popular tea drinks are presented on the revolving structures, which simulate the appearance of dim sum panels used for taking orders in traditional local tea houses.
