Plaza Norte 2 Shopping Centre refurbishment completes in Madrid
Plaza Norte 2 has been successfully operating since 2004. To refresh its classically themed interiors, Chapman Taylor designed an ambitious regeneration project that was completed this year. The renovation modernised the centre's image and significantly enhanced the overall shopping experience.
The renovation's centrepiece is the creation of a stunning winter garden concept designed to provide shoppers with a unique and elegant shopping environment. Subtle yet impactful changes in colour schemes across the mall and atriums and streamlined ornamental elements make a noticeable difference in the ambience.
Sustainability is a key focus at the refurbished centre. Strategically implemented LED lighting enhances the character and supports the overall concept while demonstrating our commitment to the environment. The Central Plaza, known as "La Cúpula," has undergone substantial structural interventions, improving circulation within the building, optimising lighting, and increasing the visibility of the shops. This space now offers a relaxed atmosphere in harmony with the extensive new natural vegetation.
The food court has also been transformed to enhance client comfort. A cosy and enjoyable space has been created with controlled lighting and improved acoustic performance, ensuring an extremely pleasant experience for those spending time there.
Changes extend beyond the interior and include improving the building's overall energy efficiency. Protective measures have been introduced to the skylights, and a new layer of thermal insulation has been applied to the entire façade. A refreshed colour palette and natural vegetation have also been introduced.
Plaza Norte 2 is a key component of a large retail park housing brands such as Carrefour, Media Markt, Ikea, and Leroy Merlin. Its diverse retail offerings include Grupo Inditex, H&M, FNAC, Hollister, Mango, Scalpers, El Ganso, Cortefiel, and Sfera.
After this major regeneration, Plaza Norte 2 has been reinvigorated as a shopping destination, seamlessly blending modern aesthetics with sustainability initiatives to cater to its customers' evolving needs.
