The vertical brief

Several retail levels need to feel like one destination. The atrium provides a shared point of reference, while the visible routes between floors become part of the interior experience. This design study looks at how circulation and shopfront visibility can work together.

Movement as architecture

Escalators, balconies and bridges frame changing views through the central space. Their relationship matters: a visitor should be able to understand the next destination without losing sight of the building as a whole.

Continuity at different scales

Large roof elements establish the overall character; balustrades, thresholds and storefront edges bring that language closer to the visitor. The useful design principle is consistency across scales, with enough variation for each destination to retain its identity.
