The Plastic Market Yuyao project in the heart of the economically up-and-coming Yuyao region, which is known for its specialisation in the production and trade of plastic parts. These plastic products are to be presented efficiently and effectively in the new market hall of Plastic Market Yuyao. The architecture symbolically draws on the city's floral emblem - the mountain peach - to unite cultural identity and function.

In addition, the architectural design is based on a dual concept that combines two distinctive building types. A flat, three-storey building creates horizontal expanse, while a 150-metre-high tower symbolises vertical presence. This deliberate contrast strengthens the visual impact of Plastic Market Yuyao in the urban space and at the same time offers flexible utilisation options.

Furthermore, the market hall can be divided into up to 624 shops, creating a clear structure for retail and exhibition. The centrepiece is a spacious, elliptical interior with skylights. Special uses such as exhibitions, catering and conference rooms are accommodated here. The natural lighting and greenery noticeably increase the quality of the space.

Last but not least, the cut-out interior defines the shape of the neighbouring tower, which is integrated into the public open space as an office tower. This square reinforces the prestigious effect of the main entrances. Below the complex is a one- to two-storey underground car park with around 620 parking spaces, which efficiently handles visitor flows and functionally complements the utilisation concept of Plastic Market Yuyao.
