Benoy divisional director Rufus Turnbull said, “Given the scale of LOTTE World Mall, the design of the public areas, the areas where people naturally converge, was critical.
“We featured a number of design elements to ensure that these spaces were memorable and unique. For instance, the main atrium is dressed in a distinctive material, allowing us to create a geometry which would’ve been hard to achieve using traditional methods.”
Associate director Heeri Song monitored the construction activities and fit out of the development for over a year.
Director Craig Menzies said, “Korea is an expanding market for Benoy and one which our studios in both the East and West have had exposure to.
“Working alongside LOTTE Corporation on their landmark scheme has allowed Benoy to showcase once again its ingenuity for design in different markets and adaptability to create schemes which resonate with their local audience.”
