A gigantic white scarf elegantly caresses the unique object that is so much more than a shopping mall. The architects of MSVA Amsterdam were tasked with transforming the formerly unspectacular building into a modern urban leisure destination. Mission successful - the Westfield Mall in the heart of Leidschendam is a popular crowd puller, and the design has won several awards.
For the façade design, fiberglass-reinforced micro-concrete was artistically laid in waves to give the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands its unmistakable dynamic shape. The noble "cloth" opens up here and there, leading into the city, the adjacent Zijdepark and, of course, into the building complex itself. This offers 200,000 m2 of stores and restaurants as well as a museum, a cinema, a car wash and a dog hotel. In keeping with this "super market", STÖBICH's fire protection solutions also fit flexibly into the interior: Textile ➥ Supercoil smoke aprons roll off the ceilings in the event of a fire, preventing toxic fire gases from escaping into other sections of the building. Super solution!
