2016年，Kokaistudios应邀参加了位于上海苏河湾绿地地下商业项目的设计竞标，但设计最终呈现出的却不止于商业，而是城中一处全新的公共空间，一个在河畔绿地中聚集了人文和休闲设施的开放性街区。华润置地选择了Kokaistudios建造一座“城市峡谷”的愿景——在绿地中打造地下商业空间，并通过一系列阶梯地景式的公共空间设计使其完美融入绿地中。

In 2016, Kokaistudios was invited to participate in a competition for an underground shopping mall in Suhe Creek Green land. Instead, the design opted to present a brand-new public space in the city: a riverside green land with cultural and leisure facilities, incorporating a subterranean commercial area. Property developer CRLand preferred Kokaistudios’ vision for an ‘urban valley,’ the floor of which is a subterranean commercial space that merges into its green land surroundings through a series of stepped slopes.
