About Citystars Heliopolis Complexo Comercial de Uso Mixto
Citystars Heliopolis é un complexo comercial de uso mixto en Exipto, inaugurado por primeira vez en 2004. O complexo atópase actualmente en proceso de renovación, cunha superficie bruta construída de 250.000 metros cadrados. A renovación abrangue a arquitectura, os interiores, a iluminación, a sinalización orientativa, a paisaxística e a sustentabilidade nun enfoque integrado. Oito niveis esténdense ao longo dun cuarteirón da cidade. A forma curva fai referencia ao fluxo do río Nilo. Catro átrios, denominados Orion, Eclipse, Solaris e Starport, configuran o interior. Estruturas de sombra, un lago, árbores e plantación contribúen a refrescar o lugar.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Citystars Heliopolis mall is the first integrated mixed-use development in Egypt, opened in 2004. The complex is currently under renovation with a focused GFA area of 250,000 sq.m. The scope included a completely integrated approach to architecture, interiors, lighting, wayfinding, landscape, and sustainability. With 8 levels spread across a city block, the new Citystars celebrates the fluidity of the Nile using a dramatic form and state-of-the-art materiality and technology.
- Inspiration
- The design language is biophilic, sinuous, comfortable and relaxing. Papyrus, lotus and water plant architectural forms are interpreted into supersized experiential features and way-finding markers. Huge shade structures, a show lake, trees and planting provide essential cooling. The mall interiors comprise 4 spectacular atriums; Orion, Eclipse, Solaris, and Starport – conveying a Galaxy of Life theme, with soft curved edges, light, creamy stone finishes, and charismatic lighting.
