Renoma
Complex ground conditions and the close proximity of neighbouring buildings, were among the many challenges facing architectural practice Maćków Pracownia Projecktowa in its recent restoration and enlargement of the former Warenhaus A. Wertheim department store in Wroclaw, southwestern Poland, now called the Renoma retail centre.

Oceania Shopping Centre
The Oceania Shopping Centre sits at a major road junction in the heart of Moscow. Bordered on one side by a major boulevard and Victory Park on one side, and high-density housing on the other, the site offered the Asadov Architectural Studio a major challenge. As a shopping centre, the building would serve an ‘introverted’ audience, one that is focussed on what is inside. But it also needed to remain connected to the external, divergent landscape. The building also had to meet the client’s requirements for a light, modern, and attractive structure.
