Our project tells a story, as architecture should do, it is about location development, refurbishment and sustainability and it is about the upgrade to a smart shopping center, which maximizes shopping, gastronomic, work and leisure experiences.

项目为奥地利格拉茨北部最大的购物中心，业主是奥地利Kovac集团。建筑师通过对建筑进行改造和扩建，使其能够进一步满足未来发展的需求，同时向人们展示了最新技术的成果。
The largest shopping centre north of Graz/Austria, owned by the Austrian Kovac corporate group, has been converted and extended by the architects to meet actual and anticipated evolving, future standards. It also boasts state-of-the-art technical refurbishment.

在格拉茨北部购物中心中，两个透明的体块内包含了零售和餐厅灯功能，它们通过一个独立的近十米高的顶棚与主楼相连，成为了建筑的重要特征。该结构由任意设置的钢筋混凝土柱支撑，空间鲜活而又明亮。屋顶上开有不规则的圆形天窗，进一步强调了空间的活力，并使自然光可以照射到彩色弧形步道上的休息区域，为使用者带来了更多享受。这三个形状自由的天窗打破了混凝土屋顶单调的表面，而其周围鲜艳的天花及照明更让混凝土屋面显现出了丰富色彩。
Significant architectural highlights of Shopping Nord Graz are two new transparent pavilions housing retail and gastronomy outlets and restaurants connected to the main building by a single, free-standing roof to create a unique – almost ten meter high – canopy. This is built on reinforced concrete stilts that appear randomly arranged to create a lively and bright space. The effect is accentuated by a glazed, asymetrical and circular roof opening to allow plenty of natural light that also illuminates seating areas on the curved and colourful paved promenade further enhancing user enjoyment. The soffit of the exposed concrete roof is not only broken up by the three free-form skylights, but also shines as a result of the colour applied to areas of the ceiling around the skylights.

▼人们沿着彩色步道逛街，休息，天窗提供了充足光照，彩色天花使空间更具活力，natural light reaches the colorful paved promenade through skylight and the colorful ceiling around makes the space more lively

原先封闭的主楼立面被巨大的玻璃取代，加宽的入口拥有更好的导向性，将游客迎入建筑之中。所有的设计都体现了购物中心的与众不同，建筑施工精细，品质卓越，同时满足了生态和经济两方面的要求，体现了BEHF建筑事务所在商业建筑领域的突出成就，荣获美国建筑大奖商业建筑设计优秀奖。
The former closed structure of the main building has been transformed by huge glas facades and expanded, inviting entrances that also promote a better user orientation. This all represents distinctive shopping center refurbishment that more than delivers on all criteria and refinements – including on ecological and economical challenges – and demonstrates BEHF Corporate Architects’ well-deserved reputation for outstanding work in this speciality area. This work has won BEHF an Honorable Mention in the first annual AAP American Architecture Prize which recognizes the most outstanding architecture worldwide in the category Architectural Design /Commercial Architecture.
