Where Mountains Meet Heritage

As a contemporary interpretation of Arc鈥檛eryx鈥檚 alpine spirit, Chongqing Star Light 68 Plaza store takes "mountain ranges" as its narrative core, innovatively blending the grandeur of Canada鈥檚 coastal mountains with Chongqing鈥檚 local mountain-city culture and intangible heritage craftsmanship. The result is an immersive retail space that bridges nature, culture, and urban life.

1. Localized Translation of Mountain-Inspired Facade

The store鈥檚 exterior features a striking three-dimensional rock texture, echoing both the primal force of North America鈥檚 1,600-kilometer coastal mountains鈥攖he birthplace of Arc鈥檛eryx鈥攁nd the undulating terrain of Chongqing鈥檚 iconic "mountain city" landscape. A door handle shaped like a mountain ridge instantly immerses visitors in the brand鈥檚 alpine DNA.

2. Contemporary Revival of Heritage Ceramic Craftsmanship

In collaboration with Tushan Town鈥檚 intangible heritage artisans, the project reinterprets Song Dynasty black-glazed ceramic revival techniques, transforming the natural gradients of kiln-fired glaze into mountainous textures on the store鈥檚 massive stone walls. This design metaphorically mirrors the glacial erosion patterns of Squamish鈥檚 peaks while drawing inspiration from Chongqing鈥檚 Yin Tiaoling National Nature Reserve, achieving a cross-cultural symbiosis between local craftsmanship and the brand鈥檚 global ethos.

3. A Dialogue with Nature in Spatial Design

The interior keeps it simple with natural materials鈥攕tone, wood, and metal鈥攖o create an alpine feel. Thoughtful details like climbing rope displays, a mountain-shaped front desk, and rugged peak imagery reflect the brand鈥檚 essence. Upstairs, a clean-lined timeline of Arc鈥檛eryx鈥檚 history encourages visitors to reflect on the spirit of adventure.

4. A Multi-Sensory Journey of Discovery

From the visual impact of the colossal ceramic mountain wall to the tactile richness of heritage-glazed textures, the space employs materials, lighting, and spatial flow to transport urban visitors into a meditative realm where "mountains refine the self." The revitalization of intangible heritage crafts ensures that each visit becomes a dual exploration of cultural preservation and reverence for nature.
