Designed by Zaha Hadid, Galaxy Soho is the architect’s first project in Beijing. This mixed-use complex, which integrates offices, retail spaces, and leisure areas, is organized around a central « canyon », where several fountains unfold.

The architecture of the basins mirrors the fluid, organic forms of the buildings, creating a subtle harmony between water and structure. Precisely sculpted, the water echoes the architectural language of the complex. The aquatic design favors curves and arches, while the staging of the water—without a visible basin—emerges directly from the ground, encouraging direct interactions with visitors.
