Refurbishing a world of indulgence
Forum Istanbul shopping mall is one of Europe’s largest shopping centres. The mall employs 5,000 people and houses 280 national and international brands. It draws 20 million visitors annually. Built on an area of 495,000 square meters in the Bayrampasa district, Forum Istanbul comprises 175,000 square meters of leased area.
Forum Istanbul has become a successful retail and leisure experience in its own right within the capital. The development boasts brand names such as Tepe Home, Saturn, Teknosa, Bimex. Boyner, YKM, C&A, M&S and Zara in the shopping mall and have parking for 5,500 vehicles.
Our design team is determined to push the architectural and interior boundaries of this major programme of refurbishment and establish new benchmarks in retail design. In response to the brief, we set our brand innovation team comprising architects, interior and graphic designers, a multi-facet task for the mall refurbishment.
We created a new brand identity. We designed a new interior scheme to integrate new entrance signage into the facade architecture. The customer journey and navigation systems for the centre were updated and a new food court seating 2,400 guests, two external courtyards and smoking terraces were designed.
