Setubal (south of Lisbon), Portugal, 2010 – 2013<br />
Malls<br />
With a population of about 90,000<br />
inhabitants, Setubal is the 3rd largest city<br />
in Portugal. The Auchan Group owns a<br />
hypermarket located at the main entrance<br />
of the city that operates with great success<br />
since the early 1990s.<br />
The objective of this project is designing a<br />
mall expansion of the hypermarket, while<br />
maintaining operation, into becoming a<br />
regional shopping centre. Adjacent to the<br />
existing building and functioning as a twostorey<br />
elongated mall, visitors can progress<br />
from the hypermarket checkout on the<br />
one side, and walk through a concourse<br />
that culminates in a food-court terrace<br />
overlooking the Arrabida Mountains at the<br />
opposite end.<br />
Level 1<br />
The facade of the new building consists of<br />
backlit perforated metal panels and with a<br />
pattern inspired both on the fishing nets of<br />
the Setubal harbour and the “Azulejo” tiles<br />
of the nearby Convent of Christ.<br />
