Zielone Arkady

CATEGORY
New Shopping Centre of the Year, Poland
Zielone Arkady” is the largest ECE project in Poland to date and the largest shopping center in Bydgoszcz and the surrounding region. Besides the popular international shops and labels, the center stands out in particular with its architecture. The most prominent architectural feature is the west entrance. Visitors enter the building through an entrance hall which is almost 30 meter in height and is shaped like a rising crystal. The light-flooded food court is located in the interior of the building element, which is dominated by large windows. It provides about ten restaurants for the visitors to choose from. A further architectural highlight is the atrium at the south entrance of Zielone Arkady. Its design resembles a theater with loges and stands on three levels arranged around a large promotional space on the first floor which can be used for center promotions or shows.
