nice rice Shanghai · Jing'an Kerry Centre | Pocket Park

Life blooming on the street, a scene where people and city blend together. Starting from Shanghai's openness and inclusiveness, say architects placed a "pocket park" for nice rice inside a shopping centre.

A Pocket Park in the Mall

Pocket parks are an important part of urban renewal in Shanghai: places close to daily life that welcome all kinds of encounters. In this store, the layered corners of the walls and irregular leftover spaces were kept on purpose, creating a space full of variety.

Park Details Inside the Store

At the storefront, a park-style bench lets passers-by sit down for a moment. Behind it, a railing inspired by park fences extends gently into the store, running through the whole space and doubling as a clothing rail.

The display tables borrow the form of steps for a more natural, relaxed presentation. Park details placed throughout create an open, easy atmosphere without hard boundaries.

Materials that recall street paving bring the space back into a natural neighbourhood setting, offering a short break, and a little fun, away from the noise of the city.
