The proposal for the Robinsons Community Mall in Antipolo aims to provide an open, accessible and well ventilated mall for its community. In this 3,000 sqm space, we aim to attract both pedestrians and customers with cars to enjoy a spacious food and retail environment. The design is open with a lot of greenery, blurring the boundaries between the indoors and the outdoors.

Both intimate and social spaces are made adaptable to many uses, with seating areas that can expand and contract easily and quickly. A “social staircase” acts as both a main staircase to the 2nd floor, while leaving parts of it as steps for people to sit down on alone or with others.

Balconies and pocket gardens in our design play a big role in giving people more open areas, while still creating plenty of leasable space for tenants.
