Location: ANCONA, Italy 10'000 sqm 2013
Client: INRES COOP
Type: Commercial

The unique geographic location inspires the architectural style of Area-17 and INRES’ project for a shopping mall along the Adriatic coastal road. The design recalls the typical peaked roofs of harbor-side warehouses.The buildings draw from an industrial architecture vocabulary with regard to the choice of materials and details too: corrugated sheet metal walls, cement and metal mesh surfaces, and giant numbers to define commercial functions. The automatic closing systems shield the front of the building at nighttime, while they act as protective roofs during the day.
