CAN DESIGN Renovates One Central Macau: Redefining Luxury Retail Experience

OCM, a waterfront flagship shopping mall, is located in the upscale Napa district of Macau. Catering to the needs of luxury spenders, OCM is a secret garden in vibrant Macau, providing the most exclusive and understated personalized hospitality in the finest elegance, curated an immersive new retail experience for its visitors. This project is a joint venture between Hongkong Land Limited and Shun Tak Holdings Limited.

OCM’s three-level shopping mall is the destination of many luxury brands' first, largest or flagship stores in the city. Inspired by the community and surrounding environment, the design celebrates Nam Van Lake's natural beauty and elegance. It brings tranquility, coziness, and luxury, enhancing the mall’s panoramic views. The highlight of the revamp is the renovation of the second floor. The new design concept embraces minimalism and flexibility, offering an inviting atmosphere with clean lines and open spaces.

The Main Atrium will showcase an exclusive collection of the world's most luxurious brands, establishing itself as the ultimate haven for discerning clients in Macau. It will also serve as a dynamic venue for captivating activations and installations, elevating the visitor experience to new heights.

“Our design reconsiders the circulation with a focus on creating a seamless flow between different retail area. From the revitalization of the facade to the individual storefronts, every detail is carefully crafted to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere for shoppers and visitors alike. The holistic design highlights the sense of stylish luxury yet offers domestic level of comfort to a certain extent,” said Tammy Chow, Associate Director at CAN Design.

“OCM is a significant project for CAN Design as we expand into this dynamic and vibrant region. We are excited to embark on this transformative journey, leveraging our expertise to revitalize and create an unparalleled luxury retail destination in Asia. In addition to the luxury renovation, OCM continues to evolve and shape the community,” said Ada Ng, Director at CAN Design.

With sustainability in mind, OCM is committed to obtaining green certifications, including BEAM Plus Interiors v2.0, WELL (Core) v2, and EDGE (retail) v3.0.0. The revamp incorporates sustainable practices such as modular design, regional materials, and the use of recycled furniture, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

The revamp commenced in December 2023 and will continue until February 2025. Once completed, OCM will reaffirm its long-term positioning as one of the premier destinations for discerning shoppers in the Greater Bay Area.
