The Aqua Portimão Shopping Mall is located in a densely urban area on the periphery of the town of Portimão, on the west coast of the Algarve, Portugal. It is an open air shopping mall on three floors linking the different levels of the surrounding area. The inside areas of the mall are covered with a delicate pergola consisting of structural steel trees supporting a horizontal trellis covered in multi-coloured glass and timber brise-soleil. This will provide the necessary sun and rain protection and create a colourful canopy over most of the mall.
