Features mall architecture
Facades, with metallic and copper colored finish, have been redesigned into a dynamic curve. Because of their height and their alignment with the existing structural framework, the renovated part and the shopping mall extension create a new volume as one single unit.
The floor areas are in harmony, lighting is softened by using natural light from light wells, and the ceilings and colors have been modernized to create a warm atmosphere.
To be more welcoming to visitors, the access ways are dotted with designer rest areas created specifically for the center. In harmony with the lofty and elongated architectural style, the elegantly designed but functional furniture seems to rise up, between islands of greenery of striking design.
Project Cost
€14 million on renovation.
