SHOPPING SHANGRI-LA

Sweden’s first environmentally certified mall is a green haven of retail therapy and design inspiration.

Description

”In touch with nature” is a label rarely associated with suburban malls, but the Emporia Shopping Center is a surprising exception. A sanctuary unfolds as you step inside the birdsong-filled elevator, which is nestled in a shaft of plants. A waterfall burbles behind another glass elevator. Ride to the top and you discover a green roof the size of four soccer fields. Located in the Malmö district of Hyllie, which aims to set a global example in sustainable urban development, Emporia is the greenest mall in Scandinavia. The total floor space of 93,000 square meters houses three floors of shopping, food, art and design in an urban oasis of architecture. Boasting a range of eco-design features, Emporia is the first mall in Sweden to achieve BREEAM environmental certification. BREEAM is Europe’s most widespread system for environmental certification, aiming to reduce the building’s lifelong environmental impact.
