The conception of Partage Shopping Brasília (Brazil) was born from the search for innovation, in a joint work between the Brazilian architectural firms Cité Arquitetura, led by Celso Rayol and Fernando Costa, and Sá & Almeida, led by Marcos Sá, with the support of the consultant André Ryfer and the architect Ian Joels, added by the contributions of the Partage Group. 

Holistically, the premise involved was to integrate architecture, interiors, landscaping, and furniture design with the local landscape and culture, in addition to achieving LEED certification for sustainability.  

The project, which spreads over its terrain creating wide and fluid spaces, permeated by natural light and cross ventilation, kept much of the existing native vegetation and captured the textures and colors of the cerrado in its elements. 

“Its main anchor is not the complex store, but a park of ten thousand square meters, with more than a thousand preserved native trees, a true “public promenade” interspersed with a diversity of uses in close relationship with the outdoors”, says Marcos Sá from Sá & Almeida firm. In the landscaping, the sinuous forms in the paving and furniture are inspired by the trails that cut the local highlands in the South American savannah, taking inspiration in the rock formations while seeking visual amplitude and spatial diversity. 

"The mall was born, since the initial project, with the most up-to-date concepts of sustainability, with LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, used for green buildings) as a goal, prompting the natural lightning and ventilation projects and leading up to integration with the native cerrado species preserved inside the mall", explains Adriano Capobianco, commercial and new business director at Partage Group.  

The inspiration in place is reflected in the architecture by its shapes, the texture of the coatings, and the predominant reddish color that refers to the clay characteristics of the soil in the Planalto Central, where Brasília sets place in the center of the country. Shops and kiosks sprout from the ground like termite mounds or rocks of the Cerrado, while large light slatted roofs shade the space like the clouds in Brasilia’s famous sky. Perforated sheets in the shape of leaves draw attention to the richness of the native flora, protecting the Gourmet Market. In it, there are several restaurant options and points of sale of regional and international producers with a rich offer of special products. The space will also hold gastronomy workshops. 

It’s a shopping center for a new era, focused on experience and lifestyle, offering healthier environments and a new concept of collective space. A project that balances the experience of urban public spaces and life in society in a more sustainable setting, reflecting the landscape and local culture, where nature participates effectively in architecture.
