# Tiled Flagship Stores Urban Revivo Beijing Flagship is a Dynamic Captivating Retail Store By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-revivo-1 References: [mvrdv](http://mvrdv.com/) & [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/07/22/mvrdv-urban-revivo-flagship-beijing/)  The new [Urban Revivo Beijing Flagship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-revivo) is a retail store designed by [MVRDV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-store) in Beijing's Sanlitun shopping district. The 4,120-square-metre space is distinguished by a sculptural facade composed of suspended aluminum tiles and tubes inspired by the traditional roof tiles of Beijing. Circular openings referencing Chinese moon gates create entrances and display windows, while a dichroic blue finish shifts between blue and purple depending on the viewing angle. The design blends local architectural references with a contemporary retail identity. The four-level interior evolves through a series of changing spatial experiences, transitioning from traditional moon gate openings to more modern geometric forms. Grey brick surfaces reference Beijing's historic Hutong neighborhoods, while each floor adopts a distinct material palette tailored to different shopping environments. Six dedicated display spaces, known as Bold [Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooms-to-go-kids-cloud9), showcase special collections through immersive installations featuring upholstered walls, recycled materials, reflective finishes, fabric curtains, and glass display cases.
