Plaza Vecino: Commercial Retail Mall Design
Project Description
Overview:
Piazza Vecino is a mixed-use commercial development designed to blend retail space with elevated architectural character. The project features a prominent ground-floor retail frontage, wrapped in a modern, warm-toned facade with integrated greenery and shading elements.
The Challenge:
