Task
Develop a comprehensive redesign of the shopping center that will remain relevant for a long time to come.
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.

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.
