Diagonal

Diagonal Mar Shopping Centre, Barcelona, has been a big part of the retail scene in Barcelona for more than a decade. The three-storey building is one of the largest shopping centres in the city, and houses nearly 200 stores, a cinema, supermarket and many restaurants and cafes.

The owner felt the image of the complex needed updating to complete in today's highly competitive environment and appointed Chapman Taylor Madrid, one of Spain’s leading architectural practices, to complete the refurbishment. The first stage of the refurbishment, the new outdoor square and outdoor terraces, is finished and will be officially opened today.

Chapman Taylor Madrid have now been appointed to be involved in the second stage of the development which includes the refurbishment of the façades, car parking entrances, lobby and the top floor dedicated to leisure and retail activities.
