Architecture
Designed by the architect of Jerde, MegaBox has a square front facade and a deep crimson circle, a favorable Chinese color.
MegaBox incorporates the concept of a mall called "Totally Connected Modules" (TCM), which is said to be manifested in three ways: free flowing visitor traffic, facilitated by express escalators and elevators connecting the four main zones of the mall; second, through the access road to all floors; and third, mall connectivity with the outside environment through L5 and Beehive Atriums, both of which incorporate a six-story glass curtain wall to view natural light.
Four Main Zones
MegaBox has four special lifestyle zone zones that cater to the buyer's personal taste; they are IN-Style, Better HOME, FAMILY Circus, and EATertainment.
