Construction recommences at Dolmen Mall in Lahore
Construction has recommenced at Dolmen Mall shopping centre in Lahore, Pakistan.
Following a pause for the COVID-19 lockdown period, concrete is now being poured to create basement two and the framework is being put in place for basement one.
A 75,000m2 GLA luxury shopping centre located within the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) grounds in Lahore, Dolmen Mall will offer three levels of shopping, a food court on the upper floor, a hypermarket on the ground floor and two levels of basement parking for 2,000 cars.
The design uses traditional Islamic patterns on perforated contemporary surfaces, employing geometrical shapes to stunning effect.
The context-appropriate façade makes use of subtle pastel colours and textures which complement the scheme’s landscaping, while a striking feature roof ‘drapes’ over the building, creating a wave-like canopy to emphasise the entrances.
Dolmen Mall was designed by Chapman Taylor’s Benelux studio for Dolmen Group.
