• Shopping Malls "The Avenues", Koweit

  Many might think that we don't pay attention to the architecture of a shopping centre, we decorate it, we put lots of lights and colours in it, and the shops do the rest. But that's where the difference lies between a shopping centre like "Shopping Mall The Avenues" and the others. This "Mall", the largest in Kuwait, has been designed as a work of art, everything is taken care of, and so are the ceilings. If you don't pay attention to the details you might think it's concrete, but no, these are Barrisol stretch ceilings that cover almost the entire centre.
