Map Location
Kazakhstan's most extensive range of shopping and entertainment facilities
Kazakhstan’s largest shopping centre, Mega Silk Way is a gateway development to the EXPO 2017 site. Containing the country’s most extensive range of shopping and entertainment facilities, the scheme includes restaurants, a food court, a 10-screen cinema (including an IMAX screen) and many other leisure offers.
'Tree' structures support the atrium
The development is defined by two winding, retail-lined malls and an impressive entertainment leisure atrium. Graceful tree-like structures support the tall and large-span atrium, which houses a large seating area, food court, marketplace and restaurants, all with excellent views of the Expo feature building.
Set within the EXPO 2017 masterplan
The building is included within the framework of EXPO 2017 and is set to welcome 1 million visitors per month. Mega Silk Way will act as a major route from Nazarbayev University to the Expo site and be a symbol of the EXPO after it is closed, as well as becoming the city’s major family attraction. The scheme achieved BREEAM In-Use sustainability certification - "Very Good" for asset performance and "Excellent" for building management.
Chapman Taylor was Lead Architect on Mega Silk Way. Our design won the 2019 International Property Award for “Best International Retail Architecture.”
Design Concept
The development was jointly-opened by President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan and President Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan in March 2017.

Chris has been at Chapman Taylor since 1979 and has played a major role in the expansion of the practice as a global design studio with particular responsibility for the strategic direction of the international business.
Chris is fully involved in leading the design of projects and has worked on many different types and sizes of buildings in over 70 countries, and is motivated by the creation of sustainable new city masterplans that are responsive and relevant to the location. He believes architectural design is a carefully managed and collaborative process that draws inspiration from the brief, the function, and the place.
Chris si unisce a Chapman Taylor nel 1979 e da allora svolge un ruolo importante nell'espansione del gruppo come studio di progettazione a livello globale. È uno dei quattro soci di Chapman Taylor e ha particolari responsabilità nella direzione strategica del business internazionale.
Chris è inoltre pienamente coinvolto nella direzione dei progetti e ha lavorato su progetti di diverse tipologie e dimensioni in oltre 60 paesi in tutto il mondo. Egli ritiene che il progetto architettonico debba essere un processo di collaborazione accuratamente gestito che trae ispirazione dal brief, dalla funzione e dal luogo.
Крис является частью компании Chapman Taylor с 1979 года и играет ключевую роль в расширении и развитии архитектурного проектирования на международном рынке. Он является одним из владельцев компании и отвечает за стратегическое направление международного бизнеса.
Крис по прежнему принимает активное участие в процессе ведения проектов и обладает мировым опытом в проектировании зданий любых видов и размеров в более чем 60 странах по всему миру. Крис убежден, что архитектурное проектирование – это, прежде всего, тщательно контролируемый совместный процесс, который черпает вдохновение в таких вещах, как задание на проектирование, функциональность и непосредственно место.
