Building in State of Mexico, Mexico
Liverpool Interlomas is a branch of the Liverpool department store chain in the Paseo Interlomas shopping mall, in the Interlomas neighborhood of Huixquilucan, Greater Mexico City. The structure was designed by Rojkind Arquitectos.[1] The building also houses a 16-screen Cinepolis cinema, an ice rink, 12 restaurants and a food court with 180 vendors.[2]
The building gained the nickname "El OVNI" (the UFO) for its shape.[2]
Design and construction
Rojkind Arquitects designed the building from July to December, 2010, and the building was constructed from March to October 2011. The above-ground three stories are clad in a double-layered stainless steel surface fabricated by Zahner.[1] The 30,000m2 department store includes a rooftop recreational park where friends, families, and pets are welcome.[3] Several design firms were involved in various aspects of the project. The interiors were done by Cincinnati-based FRCH Design Worldwide, the rooftop garden by Thomas Balsley and the gourmet space by JHP Design.
