The "East Coast Plaza," located near the Keelung Night Market and integrating a parking tower with a shopping mall, is a familiar sight for those driving to the night market. Its massive structure, positioned in the heart of Keelung City, was previously considered too unsightly, resembling a forgotten space. When He Lei Architecture took on this project, they aimed for more than just a cosmetic overhaul; they sought to make a genuine transformation. Here, we invite He Lei Architecture, the planners of "E-Square," to share in the first person how they developed this shopping mall as a win-win for both the public and commerce, unlocking the potential of urban space.
