Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.

There are two floors in the pavilion – the upper floor for people to overlook the scene and the lower floor for one to stay and rest. The architects used completely different materials to construct and differentiate the northern and southern facades. The northern facade, densely covered by local bamboo wood, parallels with the axis of Longli town, and the southern facade, cladded with Pilkington Mirropane (single-transparent glass), paralles the Longxi River.
