Blockbuster Mall - Architectural Concept & Design

Project Type: Mixed-use Entertainment & Retail Center
‍Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
‍Scale: 15,000 m² retail space, 12-screen cinema, family entertainment, restaurants, hypermarket & luxury village
‍


Role & Responsibilities:

  • As lead architect, I was responsible for the full architectural design, including façade concepts and master planning. The design approach explored two distinct aesthetic directions:
    1. Organic Concept: Inspired by the Dnipro Delta, with fluid forms evoking islands and natural patterns along the river.
    2. Blockbuster Concept: Dynamic and explosive, symbolizing excitement and motion, reflecting the entertainment focus of the mall.
      ‍

Context & Site:

The project is strategically located along a major route connecting the two banks of Kyiv, adjacent to an established entertainment hub. The design maximizes visibility and accessibility, catering to high traffic and providing seamless circulation.
‍
‍

Program Highlights:

  1. 12-screen multiplex cinema
  2. Skate park and children’s entertainment areas
  3. Restaurants and dining terraces
  4. Large hypermarket as the anchor tenant
  5. 10,000 m² family entertainment center positioned above the hypermarket
  6. Luxury Village: Upscale fashion brands housed in a dedicated section with a separate entrance and drop-off

‍


Design Concept:

The façade and architectural language were developed to create a landmark identity for the mall, balancing functional zoning with a strong visual narrative. The dual concept approach allowed for flexibility in expressing either natural fluidity or dynamic, cinematic impact, enhancing the experiential quality of the space.

‍

‍

Outcome:

This project was an opportunity to combine my architectural sensibility with a deep understanding of user experience. By balancing organic fluidity with bold, cinematic gestures, I aimed to create a space that is both functional and emotionally engaging - one that transforms everyday shopping into a memorable, immersive experience.
