Project Description
The La Lucia Mall is undertaking a major upgrade that will modernise and re-image its retail space in 2019.

The entrance design is being simplified to make entry points to the mall easily identifiable. Feature signage walls have been introduced and placed strategically to optimise the visibility and legibility of retailers’ signs.

For the interiors, the aim is to enhance the shopping experience with a seamless design using fluid lines and the understated elegance of a neutral colour scheme.

The traditional marble floor is being replaced with patterned porcelain tiles to create interiors that are subtler and visually less structured. New timber ceiling elements will also add warmth and texture.

All the mall’s lighting will be replaced with more energy efficient fittings. It will also declutter its ceiling services, creating cleaner lines.
