Shaping a New Chapter for Rio Shopping Centre
The Rio Shopping Centre has recently undergone a major refurbishment which came to completion in July 2024. This refurbishment is the first time an IKEA store has been fully integrated within an enclosed shopping centre.
SAS worked closely with architects at Design International to ensure the end result was cohesive and in keeping with the Scandinavian modernism style that we all recognise as the IKEA hallmark.
Key Features
Grey baffles compliment the large circular skylights
Curved linear profiles in a Light Oak woodgrain finish enhance the biophilic design throughout
Key building services, such as fire sprinklers and lighting were integrated between acoustic baffles
Shaping Spaces with Woodgrain and Curved Geometry
To realise this, SAS700 finished in Light Oak from the SAS WoodTones range was specified throughout the restaurant areas and entrances. The creative flexibility of this system allowed for complex geometry to be incorporated throughout the space, with continuous sweeping profiles that wrap around the ceiling structure. The Light Oak sublimated finish delivers a natural warmth to the space that creates a welcoming environment for customers. Complimented by a combination of suspended and integrated third party lighting, the end result is visually striking and in perfect keeping with the IKEA look and feel.
