About

The main idea was to change the notion of the supermarket as it exists today. We did it with its form and technology. The building is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas, each serving a different purpose while maintaining a cohesive connection. The ground floor houses the innovative supermarket, where patrons can indulge in a delightful shopping experience. This supermarket provides cashierless shopping formats including using self checkout system. Moving up to the first floor, you'll find the food court, offering unwind and savor their treats for guests. Finally, the 2nd floor which begin residential floor.
Big parts of the exterior walls of supermarket are glass and wooden to allow natural light rush in the store and also provides much needed shade. We chose to emphasize the supermarket with vertical woodens to create a sense of movement. Residential facade was seperated from supermarket by using brick material.
