About The Entry

HOPS★ON Beijing is a groundbreaking mixed-use development that redefines urban living through innovative architecture, sustainable design, and immersive commercial experiences. As a flagship project in the heart of Beijing, it seamlessly integrates retail, entertainment, office spaces, and cultural hubs, creating a dynamic ecosystem for the future.

Asia’s Largest Dome Commercial Complex

HOPS★ON Beijing is crowned by its iconic dome canopy, the largest of its kind in Asia, serving as both an architectural marvel and a cultural beacon. At the heart of the complex, a soaring 60-meter-high, 100-meter-diameter steel-framed dome commands attention, its structure engineered to embody fluidity and grandeur.

Innovative Canopy Design:

Inspired by the organic form of lotus petals, the canopy combines tensile fabric and membrane materials to create a dynamic, petal-like silhouette that appears to cascade from the sky.

Each "petal" integrates 6–8 clusters of programmable LED lights, synchronized with a ground-level LED screen to produce 36 chromatic variations, transforming the dome into a nocturnal masterpiece.

Multifunctional Cultural Hub:

The super dome hosts international extreme sports competitions, music festivals, e-sports tournaments, and art exhibitions, leveraging its immersive infrastructure to redefine large-scale events. Seasonal and thematic light shows (e.g., winter auroras, summer vibrancy) have cemented its status as Beijing’s newest viral landmark, driving massive social media engagement and public acclaim.

Technical & Aesthetic Synergy:

The hybrid steel-membrane structure achieves both structural integrity and visual delicacy.

Interactive lighting systems respond to environmental data (e.g., weather, crowd density), enhancing experiential storytelling.
