Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands Architects, in cooperation with Ford McDonald, designed the upper floors of the complex. For their spectacular ceiling and wall concept they chose a surface developed by EXYD.

The Society of British Interior Design honored the work in September 2011 with the Best Interior Design Award. In January 2012 the EuroShop RetailDesign Awards 2012 for the three best store concepts worldwide went to Shanghai, Munich and to Tsvetnoy Central Market.

EXYD produced in Germany 2.600 stainless steel panels with 1.600 different shapes ready to fit in positions including all recesses for components.

The surface, which was used for this project, reflects a fragmented image of the surroundings. It was developed by EXYD in 2009 and is called Type M.

The production techniques of EXYD allows to produce series of panels with customized shapes and changing embossing patterns.
