Design Manual by Amerikka – a unique identity and atmosphere for each floor
Amerikka was a design partner for the Mall of Tripla project.

Every decision in the Design Manual was based on research and the experiences of leading experts. Mall of Tripla’s narrative, atmosphere and the visual concept of each level streamlines the customer experience, facilitate ease of movement and inspire shopping. The aim of the Design Manual was to create an enjoyable, appealing and commercially-viable environment, unify Tripla’s different elements and to integrate the interior into the building’s overall architecture.
Restaurant concept – food and drink as shopping center attractions
Restaurants play a key role in Mall of Tripla. The restaurant concept has been structured so that different operators and business ideas are compatible with consumers’ needs and customer rotation and ensure that suitable tenants lease the available restaurant space. Mall of Tripla combines trendy indie operators, delicatessens and popular mega brands. The concept outlines how dining services will dovetail with the operations of the urban center and ensure that supply meets demand for all businesses at all times. The strategy was developed in partnership with Soupster Ltd and YIT.
