Description
FOREST is located at the podium of SKYPARK, which standing on Nelson Street, at the heart of one the most densely-populated district in Mongkok. The interior design of the mall emphasizes on creation of street experience by bringing in ‘nature’, where lots of greenery, natural ventilation through openable French windows, sunlight through skylight and more semi-outdoor interfaces, all made for an enhanced shopping experience and better human comfort. The consistency of building materials at both facade and interior space continues the spatial transition from exterior to interior space.
The mall design is not entirely commercially driven as it provides pockets of free seating and standing space in between shops, complete with ledges on the railings against which shoppers can lean and place a cup of coffee, while sharing a quiet conversation with each other. It has gradually forged a sense of community in the local district.
