Glowing Bronze Screens for Exquisite Shopping Mall Exterior
I’Park Mall is the largest shopping and entertainment complex in South Korea, located in downtown Seoul it sees thousands of visitors every day. The mall houses over 3,600 shops, across 11 levels. It is the ultimate destination for convenient shopping and entertainment.
The project designers were looking for a unique material to fill the recesses on the front of the building which would add interest to the main entrance of the mall. Bronze Kaynemaile mesh was chosen to add depth and elevate the otherwise flat, grey facade of the main building. Kaynemaile worked with JHP Design to develop 9 decorative framed screens. Each screen is fixed within a steel frame custom made to fit the building recesses.
As Kaynemaile screens can be made to any size without joins it was the ideal choice for this project. Each seamless piece creates a clean aesthetic and could be created to fit the building recesses perfectly.
Well placed lighting on the front highlights the 3D nature of the material of each piece giving the project a completely different look from day to light. When lit at night the Bronze Kaynemaile emanates a glowing warmth providing a nice contrast with the cool grey of the concrete surround.
714m2 of mesh was used to create these large-scale screens which create a dramatic and eye-catching entrance.
