Hello again, dear visitors of our website. Continuing the topic of the use of Jura Limestone in interiors, we would like to present to your attention one of the largest shopping and entertainment centers in Vladivostok.
The project concerns the shopping mall "Kalina Mall" located right on the shore of the Golden Horn Bay on Kalinina Street. The project was executed by the Russian team KM Architects in record time. At the request of the client, the company "Artayar," a natural product with excellent operational qualities was to be used for the interior finishing. The goal was to create a center of attraction for the residents of Vladivostok and numerous tourists in the recently opened visa-free zone of Primorye at a high European and North American level.
Considering the experience of the team of architects who worked in England and Italy, the client decided to use Jura Limestone.
An individual mosaic was developed for different areas of the promenade between the squares with boutiques and shops.
Preliminary mock-ups of the floor sections were made for approval with the client and the architect.
🔍The photo shows the installation of MokAp with the participation of a specialist from Germany.
As can be seen from the photo, to give the pattern individuality, the architect, in agreement with the client, used large-format slabs measuring 900x900x20 in different shades. Several varieties of Jura Limestone were used in total: Jura Cream, Jura Gold, Jura Noce, and Jura Beige.
The cladding of columns and pilasters made of Jura marble of various layers was also planned, to create a color vector from dark tones to light.
This pilaster used Jura Limestone Jura Blue (gray-blue material of the lower slab) and Jura Limestone Jura Travertin with a horizontal arrangement of the veins.
In conclusion, it is worth summarizing. The European-level shopping center "Kalina Mall" is undoubtedly a landmark object in the modern architectural landscape of Primorye. In confirmation of this, it was awarded a first-degree certificate in the prestigious nomination for the best shopping center in Russia in 2020.
