What we did

Interior Design, Landscape Design

Shopping has always been a leisure activity. When Lotte asked Shed to be the lead designer on 16000 sqm of new retail in Dongtang, we knew it was all about reframing this time old tradition to create a retailtainment destination.
The Challenge

Create a destination shopping experience that feels uniquely Lotte. Each floor needs to be distinctly, different, rich in character and depth of experience, yet all united in their aim to offer a customer-first experience. 3F - Women’s Contemporary 4F - Family (Mens & Children’s) 5F - Sports.

The Strategy

The starting point was a deep understanding of Lotte’s customer base, forming the basis of a tailored retail strategy for each floor. The perfect balance of retail, entertainment and services emerged, transforming traditional departments into immersive, experience-led destinations.

The Solution

Storytelling design at its finest, with each floor creating a memorable and distinct shopping experience. The flowing shapes and forms of the women’s department, inspired by the fluidity of the natural world, transitions into a lush outdoor terrace, where hidden sculptures and sanctuaries invite a moment of pause. A children’s department takes shoppers on a whimsical journey through folklore and curiosities, designed to ignite imagination and make shopping an adventure. A sports department with a unexpected nod to the past where the grandeur of ancient Olympic amphitheaters is reimagined in a contemporary, high-energy setting. Credits: Video content by Lotte.
