Hysan Place, Hong Kong 

Retail & Consumer Design

This commercial hub comprises a high-rise retail mall and office building and 42,000 square metres of integrated retail, dining, leisure and civic space in the heart of the busiest retail district in Hong Kong. Woods Bagot was brought onboard to rejuvenate Hysan Place as a gateway to Lee Garden district and Causeway Bay through a memorable arrival moment, enhanced circulation, and multifaceted visitor experiences. 

The once-neglected outdoor space is now a lively urban park with skateboarding facilities, a new central hub on the fifth floor connecting the multi-level retail precinct. The basement levels are transformed into an underground shopping and dining destination, blending retail and F&B seamlessly and extending the transport precinct. 

“We strive to transform Hysan into a dynamic urban expression,” says Woods Bagot Principal Billy Ip. “It isn’t just a retail space, it’s a living canvas where urban culture and modern design converge.”
