The scope of the work carried out by the architectural studio involved the concept design of the shopping centre and the development of the area around the designed building. The main aim was to create a top quality project which integrates with its surroundings and is characterized by modern architecture at the same time. It was also important to create a new urban area connecting Górnośląska Street and the bus and railway stations. The mall was designed as a multi-storey retail, service and entertainment facility including one floor of an underground car park and two floors of an above-ground car park. The above-ground part of the facility consists of two full retail floors and a partial second floor containing the cinema and the recreational area.
