gebaut Amorphous coloured planes in the background with an ornamental, partly transparent surface in the foreground generate a volume made of air and colour. Depending on where the observer is standing, the façade is perceived in various ways: a “latent image effect” is created. The pre-existing indoor atrium was upgraded and now seems bigger and more open, gradually blending with the sales area (island-type shops characterised by a change in materials). The star-shaped circulation concept supports spatial organisation and clarity.
