Task
Develop a comprehensive shopping center interior design that will remain relevant for a long time to come.
Circulation for thousands of visitors
In a 6,000 m² shopping centre, wayfinding matters as much as aesthetics. We planned the routes so visitors easily find escalators, lifts, toilets and the shops they need, while tenants get an even flow of customers on every floor. Materials for common areas were chosen for heavy use and easy maintenance, so the interior looks new for years.Decisions by the Space Team
Our team took a comprehensive approach to solving the task at hand: we worked not only on the design of the common areas, but also on the zoning, utilities, and logistics for all floors. The landscaping in front of the building, as well as the design and lighting of the facades, are also the result of our work.
During the project, we were able to expand the first-floor lobby space. Thanks to ample lighting and a renovated entrance with convenient sliding doors, this space is clearly visible from the outside. Another practical solution—which also serves as a wonderful decorative element—is the “light beacons,” which intuitively guide customers along the designated pathways on the first floor.
Brass became the main decorative element, complementing the shopping center’s black-and-white color scheme and once again emphasizing the space’s focus on the premium segment.
We couldn’t alter the structure of the elevator shaft, so we decided to make it the dominant element that connects all the floors of Magnus.
On the second floor, we designed a small communal space with comfortable sofas, and visitors can charge their devices using the power from the trees surrounding the area. To give visitors a place to relax, we’ve included a space for a coffee shop on the third floor, which offers a wonderful view of the city.
Since the project was designed with the long term in mind, we took great care in selecting each material, considering its durability and ease of restoration or replacement. We chose white as the main color for the space—a color that will never go out of style. It helps brighten the room, and its ease of maintenance makes it the ideal choice for a high-traffic area.
How we work on a project
- Introduction: we discuss the task, budget and timeline and visit the premises or plot.
- Contract and brief: we define the function of each zone and your style preferences.
- Design development: layout, concept and 3D visualizations of every space.
- Technical drawings: a complete documentation package for the builders.
- Specification and procurement: selection of materials, furniture, lighting and appliances.
- Implementation: author’s supervision so the result matches the visualizations.
Frequently asked questions
What does a commercial interior design project include?
A brief, a concept, a layout, 3D visualizations, technical drawings and specifications for materials and furniture. If needed, we provide author’s supervision during the works so the result matches the visualizations.Can I order just a concept?
Yes. A concept with visualizations helps you evaluate the idea, compare options and make decisions before investing in the fit-out. It can later be developed into a full working design.Do you make furniture for commercial spaces?
Yes. We work on a design and build basis: we design counters, shelving, bar and retail furniture to custom drawings and coordinate their manufacture, so the furniture fits the space precisely.Do you work in other cities and countries?
Yes. We have offices in Lviv and Warsaw and run projects in several countries: meetings and approvals happen online, and we prepare documentation that local contractors can work with.More projects by SPACE DESIGN
