Parque comercial Vilanova Shopping:
Project report

The design of this commercial park, situated in the western Salnés region at the heart of the Ría de Arousa, embraces the exciting challenge of deeply understanding both cultural identity and geographical context. Nestled between mountains and ocean, the park integrates harmoniously with the surrounding natural landscape.

The project prioritizes sustainability through energy-efficient design, effective water management, and minimizing environmental impact. By using local materials, it pays tribute to the land’s authenticity, ensuring the structure blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Thoughtfully framed views of the ocean and mountains are incorporated, creating immersive spaces that encourage visitors to connect deeply with the environment.

Nature and commerce can also live in harmony
A tribue to cultural identity and the surrounding landscape

The design of this commercial park is deeply rooted in an understanding of the Salnés region’s cultural identity and natural environment. Nestled between imposing mountains and the tranquil waters of the Ría de Arousa, the park embodies a harmonious balance between human activity and nature.

The architecture acts as a bridge, connecting the area’s rich history and traditions with a progressive vision for commercial development. Through the careful integration of organic, flowing forms and the use of local materials, the design reflects both the authenticity and timeless beauty of the landscape.

Each structure is thoughtfully crafted to engage in a dialogue with its surroundings, blending the built environment seamlessly with the natural world.

 

At its core, this project seeks to connect people to the land. By honoring cultural heritage and fostering a space for reflection, the park becomes a place where the local community can see itself within the broader landscape.

 

The architectural composition encourages visitors to pause and contemplate, offering a sense of place rooted in history yet open to the future. More than a functional commercial space, this park stands as a tribute to the natural environment, cultural identity, and the people who call this region home.

The parking lot is not merely a utilitarian space, but a well-designed zone that complements the overall park’s sense of harmony and respect for nature.
Vegetation is integrated between parking rows, creating a visually appealing and green atmosphere.
The emphasis is placed on user experience, making the parking area a comfortable and convenient part of the overall visit.
The indigenous landscape design is rooted in the concept of unity with the natural environment. The design is centered around creating spaces that invite reflection, contemplation, and interaction with nature.
These pathways are integrated into the topography, ensuring minimal disruption to the natural flow of the land. Water features, such as ponds and gentle streams, add a dynamic element to the landscape.
The outdoor spaces are designed not only as functional areas but also as places for social interaction and reflection. With open plazas, shaded seating areas, and unobstructed views of the sea and mountains.
