From the designer. Mbeya is one of the five cities in Tanzania. It is located in the southern Highlands, surrounded with beautiful mountains and it is ever green throughout the year. The population of Mbeya is rapidly increasing, according to the National senses of 2010, the population of Mbeya has grown to approximately 2,707,41 people. Despite of rapid population increase and the presence of people with different living standards, there is no royal and common area in Mbeya city where the residence can aquire both services and goods at the same time. Thus one of Architecture students from Mbeya University of Science and Technology, has come up with an idea of proposing a shopping mall at CBD Mbeya city.
The mall will be known as THE GREEN CITY MALL, it will be containing of two main tenants of about 1200 square meters each, movie theatres able to accommodate 50 people each, two banking halls, shops and office rentable spaces, kids’ corner, two restaurants, coffee shops and recreation areas.
It is designed to attract people to shop, eat and have fun. The building looks lively because of its integrated landscape with more than 600 sqm green zones, attractive tropical trees and two large water fountains. It has got more than 200 parking spaces with clear signage to direct the car parking users. There are street lights which lit the site at night and street furniture.
The front façade of the building has more curtains which allow light to the interiors and allow vision from inside. There are advertisement screens which face the streets. The moment visitors enter in to the mall, they will be welcomed with attractive features and large dimensions surrounded with stress less hemisphere with the best interior designs full of natural lighting from the skylights where they can relax and have fun. From the entrance visitors will be able to view the two main tenants and the banks. The escalators at the ground floor move people vertically to the first and second floor where there are shops, restaurants, movie theater and kids’ corner. It has got the wide open spaces allowing vision to view most of the points in the mall. From the restaurants people can see the beautiful view of mount Loleza and its greenish slope.
This will be the perfect area to enjoy meetings, getting together and picnics because of it large catchment areas and best shopping experience. THIS WILL OFFER THE REGION A NEW SHOPPING CONCEPT AND IT WILL BE REAL AMAZING.
