Shenzhen MixC Shopping Mall, known as the most “luxury”shopping mall in Shenzhen, is built with four featured formats of international fashion, special catering, children’s world and cultural life to build a way of life for all customers. The MixC Shopping Mall including nearly 300 stores, more than 1,000 brands, 12 single brand flagship stores, including many domestic and foreign giant brand flagship stores.
In September 2019 Huawei’s global flagship store of mobile intelligent terminals was grandly opened, creating a shining “diamond” for the most “luxury” MixC Shopping Mall.
At a glance, Huawei’s global flagship store looks like a quadrate triangular glass building, each corner of which is in an arc. The unique semi-open staircase presents a borderless community atmosphere, allowing people to enter the store more freely to rest or communicate. The whole building presents a sense of open and bright space, which stands out from the numerous flagship stores.
The Huawei Cloud Park Store was the first time NorthGlass Tianjin Company cooperated with Huawei. NorthGlass provided high-quality glass for this project.
NorthGlass Tianjin Company, a world-renowned enterprise providing curtain wall glass for many classical buildings in the world, has taken over all the facades and panels glass of Huawei’s global flagship stores. It covers 174 pieces of glass, including plane, single-curved, L-shaped single-curved, multi-curved, complex-curved, small radius and large size. There are 37 pieces of complex-curved glass, 27 pieces of L-curved and 10 pieces of double-curved corner glass, 10 metres of super thick facade glass and 8 metres of super wide glass guardrail.
The finishing touch of the whole project is the graceful arc curve of the curved globular glass. NorthGlass’ designers got the curve similar to the shape of “inverted wine glass”. The glass is composed of 450 millimetre small radius arc and asymmetric arc, three pieces of super white glass utilizing hot bending, chemical tempering, three-time calcination and colour matching of coloured glaze, SGP laminated and embedded metal parts. The three-side glass to glass splicing, leaving one side bottom edge exposed, made the production very difficult.
According to architects of Saguez & Partners in France, they searched around the world for deep-processing glass manufacturers and found only two that could meet the designer’s requirements. NorthGlass is the only one in China.
Taking the opportunity of the opening of the global flagship store, President of NorthGlass, Gao Li, vice President of NorthGlass and general manager of Tianjin Company, Gao Qi, were invited to the Huawei global flagship store to talk with the person in charge of the flagship store and senior leaders, and to discuss some technical difficulties. Both sides realized that NorthGlass and Huawei share the same corporate culture of pursuing innovation and quality. Therefore, both expressed the intention of further strengthening cooperation in architectural glass.
Huawei’s super global flagship store is not only the display and retail of products, but also will become a public science and technology space with advanced ideas and advanced technologies, a full experience integrating science and technology, culture and services, attracting tourists from all over the world.
