Strip Center Chorrillos

Strip Center Chorrillos

Small shopping mall of neighborhood scale that is organized as an L to shelter a central space designed as square and parking. Its distinctive treatment has converted it in a reference point for the neighborhood and the neighbors have made the place as their own thus projecting their lives over the complex.


A circulation enables to go side by side through the building to animate it. The ends, in which the circulations finish, are emphasized with a skin formed by three-color strips.


Longitudinal lightings disposed according to a design helping to define circulations are applied to the shared facilities. A central detail of wooden covers holds three linear lamps acting as headlights of the complex.


Design: Metrópolis Oficina de Arquitectura Arch. José Orrego Herrera
