We were commissioned in late 2006, to design one of many new generation of hypermarket for Carrefour. Being one of the top 3, hypermarket retails Malaysia, Carrefour has embarked to built hypermarkets that will be pleasant, identifiable and conducive for shoppers. With stiff competition amongst the top 3 hypermarkets in Malaysia, shoppers are now able to choose their favourite hypermarket to come and shop. The challenge for our office together with Carrefour is to design a hypermarket to meet their needs and to ensure shoppers will continue to do their shopping at Carrefour.

The site measuring approximately 8 acres is located the city of Klang fronting a busy road and accessible from a nearby highway. This hypermarket is a single storey hypermarket with its trading floor is placed around several retail shops.

The total overall built up area of this hypermarket is approximately 150,000 sq ft. The trading area alone is approximately 93,000 sq ft. The rest of the built up area is taken up by 20 retail shops and food court.

Several external design or facade design options were proposed before the final design was chosen for this outlet. In the final design, we expressed the corner entrance of the building with a large entrance canopy which is identifiable from a distance and along the busy road. A skylight is also introduced to light up the entrance lobby, before entering into the hypermarket area.

The facade of the hypermarket is treated by expressing its external column structure which supports the canopy roof. The corporate colour of red, white and blue is also used on the external walls. The this colour are used to identify the building as a Carrefour Hypermarket.

Background Information
The site measuring approximately 8.3 acres is located in Kota Damansara, a new township located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. Our client Giant, one of 4 leading hypermarkets provider in Malaysia, is building one of the largest hypermarket mall in Malaysia. The total built up area not including the parking level is approximately 500,000 sq ft or 43,935 m².

Design Approach
In order to comply with the design brief, the hypermarket is elevated with its parking floors located at the ground floor. The trading area; i.e. its hypermarket is approximately 90,000 sq ft (with a mezzanine floor). The rest of the built up area is provided for the shopping mall at the parking level and hypermarket level.
As the hypermarket is located next to a busy highway, we design to express the facade of the mall using glass with clear modern. The corporate colors are used on the facade of the building in order for the building to be identifiable from a distance.
