A major extension and renovation

Chapman Taylor has designed the major extension and renovation of Galerías Laguna Shopping Centre in Torreón, northern Mexico, transforming the existing mall into a vibrant retail and leisure destination and strengthening its role as a key social hub for the city.
Expanding beyond traditional retail
Expanding beyond traditional retail
Located within a consolidated urban area with strong commercial activity, the project reimagines the existing 85,000 m² shopping centre and introduces a 34,184 m² extension. The scheme enhances Galerías Laguna’s offer by expanding beyond traditional retail to create a dynamic, experience-led destination that encourages longer dwell times and all-day use.
Improved visitor experience
Improved visitor experience
The design introduces two new main entrances that reorganise circulation and significantly improve the visitor experience. The first entrance connects directly to the food court, where a generous double-height atrium forms the heart of the restaurant zone. Flooded with natural light, this space creates strong visual connections between levels and establishes a lively social focus within the centre.
A new experience zone

The second entrance leads to the mall’s experience zone and provides direct access to a new rooftop sports and leisure area, extending the programme vertically and activating the building throughout the day and into the evening.
To improve accessibility and reduce congestion within the main complex, two new independent buildings have been developed to accommodate the required parking capacity, freeing the shopping centre from vehicular pressure and enhancing the overall arrival experience.
The architectural concept is inspired by Mexico’s natural landscapes, embedding local identity into the design
