Excerpt: Nilo by OSPA Arquitetura & Urbanismo and Hype Studio is a commercial space designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding street life. Elevated above street level, it offers visual openness while maintaining separation from parking areas. The design fosters connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a welcoming and dynamic urban experience in a key area of Porto Alegre.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] People who frequent the place can enjoy both the stores and the outdoor space in one of the most valued corners of Porto Alegre.
This happens because the shopping center is designed seeking integration between the 12 stores and the street, enabling the connection between indoors and outdoors.
The gallery is 1.5m above street level, not visually conflicting with the parking lots. Elevation also provides more interesting visuals and protection for stores and users passing through the gallery.
