SKP Chengdu, a pioneer in the world of department stores, has consistently led the way in innovation and creativity. It is a shining example of the future, just as SKP-S in Beijing and Xi’an did before. This new venture is set to redefine the city’s landscape, making it a hub for fashion, technology, and art. Collaboratively designed by Sybarite, in partnership with James Corner Field Operations, Arup, Speirs Major Buro Happold, Eckersley O’Callaghan, and The Fountain Workshop, SKP Chengdu promises to be a landmark project.

SKP Chengdu’s Design Concept

At the heart of SKP Chengdu lies a unique fusion of nature, contemporary luxury (SKP), and next-generation luxury (SKP-S). This seamless integration creates a sense of unity, holistically bringing together urban parks and underground structures. The development adopts the principles of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), promoting density, walkability, and mixed-use spaces near public transportation, fostering sustainable and inclusive communities.

Recalling the groundbreaking initiatives of SKP-S in Beijing and Xi’an in 2019 and 2021, SKP Chengdu continues the tradition of pushing boundaries. It envisions a utopian world where equilibrium is achieved through a Gate of Transition, offering a glimpse into the ultimate parallel time and space experience.

SKP Chengdu is more than a physical space; it is a testament to familiarity, possibility, and instinct, radiating with boundless optimism. It beckons humanity to embark on a journey, encouraging us to explore the infinite opportunities and challenges that await. Upon entering SKP Chengdu, visitors are greeted by many worlds within the park, with its botanical quilt of 33 meticulously crafted landscapes and scenic spots. Each visit unveils a unique narrative, ensuring no two journeys are alike.

The true marvel of SKP Chengdu lies beneath the surface. As one descends into the depths, the park seamlessly connects with the submerged architecture, creating an awe-inspiring canyon-like setting. This underground world is a dynamic, evolving, and changing realm, unified by a shared narrative—a celebration of diversity under one ‘botanical roof.’

SKP Chengdu symbolizes harmony in individuality, offering a parallel universe where diverse elements converge to demonstrate the possibilities on the journey from elegance to energy, from SKP to SKP-S. It is a testament to SKP’s legacy of pioneering innovation and creativity in department stores.
