The project was developed by Blank Architects with my direct participation as a leading architect.

Grozny Mall is the 1st Shopping mall in Chechnya and a part of new urban complex with the skyscraper of the Akhmat Tower. It will propose a new level of service and lifestyle for this rapidly developing region of Northern Caucasus. The main brand vision of mall is: the only one in Chechnya, the value, the jewel, the pride, the shinning.

Our idea was to keep the interior light and transparent and bring up an Islamic identity connected with local tradition. And once we started the project we have made a research of the Near Eastern and local ornaments and traditions. We suggested light, cosy and modern interior with Islamic ambience in details.

The concept of the whole building was made by Chapman Taylor. Blank Architects have developed stage P and interior design. We've designed unique iconic elements of the Mall and have therefore ultra wow effect and ultra relaxing effect to diversify atmosphere and reception.
