Mercator shopping mall

The client permission and expected plan was prefabricated concrete hall of 46 x 42 x 7 meters. Interior and all internal finishing is done as Mercator standard.The standard which is prescribed by shopping company's chain for all their standard malls.Construction Company budget was extremely limited. The new shopping mall has customer approach and parking facilities on 3 sides of the building. Therefore it was important to cover 3 sides with final decorative finishing with the budget of 1 side only. After detailed calculation the budget for covering all elevations was at 60.000 EUR. The pattern was based on different stepped elevations in order to soften basic cube shell. We took and calculated the surface that would be needed for one side. The surface was divided into three elevated surfaces. The surface which could fit into the budget for the facade was use of basic metal sheets which were painted in bronze structured color.
