New urban life here is leisurely, uninhibited, rich and exquisite. Before creating a quality, luxury urban life, exploring how the local context affects us is of great significance. In light of it, TOMO DESIGN hopes to continue this strong emotional link by conceiving GOGO MALL, an upscale, exquisite and quality experiential sales center awash with an elegant commercial atmosphere and closely related to the imageries of “yacht” and “waves”, subtly interpreting the prosperous scenes of the modern city in chronological order.

GO FOR OCEAN

The distinctive culture of Nantong is derived from the unique natural environment, where the unstoppable Yangtze River flows into the sea and in turn the vast, inclusive and magnificent ocean embraces the river. Drawing inspiration from Nantong’s local context, TOMO DESIGN creates a property models area with the features of beach and waves. The form that combines virtuality and reality reflects Nantong’s coastal location.
