Retailoring Retail, also for “I Portali” in Modena

Lombardini22 participates in the design competition for the renewal of the “I Portali di Modena” shopping center, with a clear idea in mind: enhancing the existing elements while simplifying the image of the center.

Lombardini22’s team envisions “I Portali” with a different skin, vibrant, unique and expressive renewing the surfaces of the center, and creating a background to the increased number of new portals distributed in the center, of different sizes and angles, configured as a communication and design element of the outdoor spaces. The innovative square with its garden, is restructured to welcome customers and to help prioritize the paths. The revision of the parking lot, in the end, is the best solution for a pedestrian approach to the structure.

Inside the center light-weight and delicate solutions have been considered for the decorative and structural roof elements. New essential ceiling surfaces and volumes enhance the flow of natural light, improving the control and restore the clarity of geometric spaces . The renovation is focused especially on the central area, transforming it from an inner city square into an elegant lounge where guests of the shopping center are warmly welcomed.
