The building was formerly an old state-run shopping mall, an old building group, three buildings built in three different time periods from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000 onwards are lapped together according to the site situation. The structural forms and combinations of the different eras bring a highly irregular space: the columns are of different sizes, the column network is intricately distributed, the floor heights are also different, and there are certain problems with both plan and vertical traffic. The structure was remodeled by the business that moved in behind, resulting in a situation where some of the structure had to be preserved while at the same time matching the flow of Fenglinger and the space needed for the experience.
The renovated building has three floors, with a floor area of 12,000 square meters, distributed with a play area, a dining area, and a partially open atrium. Fenglinger is located on the second floor of the old building group. Due to the need to buy tickets and change shoes before entering the indoor space, the experience flow of Fenglinger and the play area should not interfere with each other. The cultural atmosphere of Fenglinger is different from the play area and has a certain degree of coordination, which are the key points to consider in the design.

There are two flow lines to reach the store when entering Fenglinger. One is the courtyard elevator, and the other is the courtyard rotating staircase. After reaching the second floor, the Fenglinger service desk is the core to guide the left and right diversion so that the amusement section and Fenglinger customers do not interfere with each other. The design is based on the irregularity of the existing building form, the wide space and the short depth of the openings, and the different heights of the floors. With the parallel perspective of traditional Chinese landscape painting, the space is unfolded horizontally to form a long axis scroll.
