Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Designing a consistent urban framework that nevertheless provided a diversity in the individual architectural character of buildings.
Curating a seamless pedestrian experience in a site that had a challenging topography and was exposed to dominant winds.
Anchoring the site along three platforms linked to each other by a continuous game of terraces, stairs, suspended bridges and esplanades that gently slope down the length of the development.
Conducting value engineering and cost optimization studies to preserve economic viability of the development.
MAF aimed to achieve four objectives: a commercial center that is aligned with its well-honed leasing strategy, to work with a consultant that is capable of managing multiple stakeholders and collaborating closely with the client, to integrate sustainability features and meet project cost guidelines. Laceco worked closely with the client and the stakeholders during design and supervision stages to design a mall that optimized GLA at 37,000 m², meet the full requirements for LEED Platinum rating and integrate cost awareness within the design process to help the client achieve economic objectives.
