The moment I stepped in, I felt like I was walking into a sci-fi movie set designed by a minimalist zen master. The space is massive, airy, and unbelievably aesthetic. Think open atriums, garden terraces, water features, and Instagrammable corners on every floor. This place isn’t just about shopping. Yes, it’s got all the luxury brands and Korean designer boutiques you could want, but it also has a peaceful rooftop garden, curated bookstores, art displays, and concept cafés that look like they were pulled straight from a design magazine. I didn’t even plan to buy anything and still spent hours just soaking it all in. It’s perfect whether you’re here to shop, chill, or just wander in style.
