CAN Design Celebrates the Grand Opening of Foodie Sky at Hefei Mix

CAN DESIGN, an emerging architectural and design firm in Hong Kong, is proud to announce the completion of Foodie Sky, a brand-new rooftop dining and garden space at Hefei MixC. This project aims to create a trendy micro-vacation destination, redefining social dining with a fresh natural aesthetic.

An Urban Oasis Set Above the Clouds

MixC Hefei is currently undergoing a phased renovation plan, aiming to become Anhui's premier commercial complex. The Foodie Sky on the 6th floor is an exciting addition to MixC Hefei, CAN has transformed the rooftop into functional, attractive urban spaces where visitors can relax, socialize, and enjoy the ambiance.

The design intertwines the interior and the exterior, creating a genuine connection with the interior environment while crafting a memorable scenic experience with its unique architectural design. The rooftop garden skilfully uses curved elements and elegant lines to create a sense of spatial fluidity, adding layers of visual interest and fun, and crafting a continuous spatial experience.

Stepping into the expansive atrium garden, the open garden space exudes a subtly luxurious style, with dozens of selected green plants building a luxuriously wild atmosphere, creating a dynamic, transformative, and layered three-dimensional space that allows natural art to proliferate and coexist within the area.

A New Social Hub

Four enormous mushroom-shaped structures elegantly interspersed across the verdant lawn are not only visual focal points but also the soul of the entire space. This flexible open area serves as a vibrant stage for live events, shows, or performances, as well as an ideal place for city dwellers to dine, play and enjoy the natural beauty, providing a leisure space that allows for both scenic enjoyment and interactive experiences.

Creating a New Urban Micro-Vacation Destination

The semi-open design ensures that the areas of the rooftop garden are interconnected. The centralized dining area is directly connected to the indoor pathways on the sixth floor, integrating vertical circulation and strengthening the connection between the rooftop and the podium building, forming a circular flow on the sixth floor. In the bustling city, this space offers visitors a serene green sanctuary. The close integration of green landscapes and commercial spaces creates a new dining, entertainment, and leisure hotspot, allowing customers to rediscover the beauty of the city skyline and attract them to the upper floors for a unique spatial experience.

Ecology x Vitality x Gastronomy

The rooftop restaurant experience is taken to yet another level at Foodie Sky, offering dine-in experiences with the top culinary outlets in the city. The rooftop, filled with various fusion restaurants, perfectly merges natural beauty with leisure living.

The rooftop garden exemplifies CAN’s commitment to integrating landscape into architecture to foster a connection with nature. The sculptural concrete canopies, with their flowing lines, rise gently above the landscape, offering shade and shelter while echoing the organic forms found in nature. This design not only prioritizes aesthetic appeal but also focuses on environmental sustainability. Each element is thoughtfully placed to ensure visitors can immerse themselves in a multisensory green retreat, a serene escape in the heart of the city.

The newly opened Foodie Sky dining space and rooftop garden mark a new era for Hefei MixC. CAN Design is dedicated to creating unique experiences for urban micro-vacations and social dining by seamlessly combining innovative architectural design with natural landscapes, showcasing a new natural aesthetic.
