Project Overview
This design inspiration is transforming the shopping mall experience by integrating Solskin Comfort as a climate-adaptive building skin, which enhances the aesthetic appeal of the venue and adds exclusivity to the architectural design while boosting its energy efficiency. The stunning yet innovative solution is seamlessly applied across a variety of areas in the commercial venue including atriums, food courts, retail stores, lobbies, outdoor plazas, and restaurant terraces.
By optimizing interior temperature, lighting and shading, it creates a comfortable shopping and leisure experience. space usability, and energy efficiency throughout the space are further enhanced and lead to a truly sustainable operation of the mall. With a significantly reduced energy consumption, the initiative ensures operational resilience for facilities that run almost 24/7, while creating visually striking, comfortable, and safe environments for all users.

Context
Shopping malls and commercial venues encounter significant energy consumption challenges due to their intensive use and vast open spaces which need to be cooled in summer and heated in winter.With fluctuating energy prices this can also be a severe financial burden on the financial viability of a venue.
Moreover, modern consumers increasingly demand environments that prioritize sustainability. At the same time they are not willing to compromise on comfort and are attracted by visual identity, and exclusivity. They seek spaces that offer a exclusive and unique experiences for their shopping and urban leisure activities. Optimal lighting, precisely controlled temperature and fascinating architecture create attractive venues that overshadow competing localities.
Climate change will further increase the energy consumption of malls, particularly in summer. Facilities that reduce their environmental impact and visually implement sustainable practices will continue to hold significance for the local customer base.
Solskin Implementation
Solskin seamlessly integrates into the commercial venue’s design, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Solskin Facade installations over window areas optimize daylight, reducing reliance on artificial lighting while adding a striking architectural element. This innovative approach fosters a brighter, more inviting atmosphere, strengthening the connection to the outdoors and promoting sustainability.
In atriums, courtyards, food courts, lobbies, and restaurants, Solskin Skylight intelligently regulates natural light and temperature, ensuring year-round comfort while lowering energy consumption. Meanwhile, Solskin Pergola provides shading for outdoor terraces and waiting areas, making them more enjoyable in various weather conditions.
By integrating Solskin across facades, skylights, and outdoor spaces, the venue achieves a harmonious blend of energy efficiency, comfort, and contemporary design.
