Shanghai World Financial Center "Food Garden"

Nomura Co., Ltd. was responsible for the design and basic planning of the food court at the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China. The aim was to create a relaxing space surrounded by "light" and "greenery" to support office workers in their eating, working, and socializing needs. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. was responsible concept design and schematic design, while NOMURA (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was responsible for working drawings and construction.

[Customer issues/requests]
A food court "Food Garden" with 12 stores on the second basement floor of SWFC, a Shanghai landmark. While providing daily food support to more than 10,000 office workers, we will provide added value as a building, such as providing a place for office workers to relax, event spaces and conference rooms that can be used for seminars and exchange parties. I needed a space to grow.

【solution】
In order to create a comfortable space for office workers to relax even though it is underground, we visualized the "light" coming in from the ground as louvers and created a series of scenes in which the "green" crawls up toward the light. In addition, the event space and conference room (can be catered from the food court) are planned in an integrated manner, and the structure is such that it can attract customers even after peak lunch hours.
