CITY
BACK TO THE
With the opening of the new shopping mall on 26 March in Mönchengladbach,
Germany, a landmark for better quality of life in the city was set.
W
ith its 4 star shopping concept, The Minto presents a futuristic
shopping experience and an outstanding quality of habitat;
urban design, comfortable, inviting, enjoyable, sensuous and
magical, coupled with premium services and convenience in all
public areas. In short, a customer trip for all the senses.
kplus konzept designed and implemented the complete interior
design of the mall: from the multi-sensory ‘Highlight Facades’,
the rest areas in the boulevards, the Food court (Minto’s Deli),
to the signage in the mall and the car parks as well as for the lift
lobbies and toilets.
“The Minto sets new standards, also for the retailers in the pedestrian zone,” said the
Lord Mayor of Mönchengladbach Hans Wilhelm Reiner in an interview with kplus
konzept at the opening ceremony. He especially liked the attention to detail, the design
for all the senses, evident in the colours and shapes of the interior design. “It’s nothing
artificial, not like a spaceship has landed, but a new living space to feel good has
emerged.”
Hear the mall!
The Minto Mall is a feast for the five senses and features Highlight
Facades which take the visitor through different moods by a synaesthetic
combination of materials, sound and scent design. Have a listen to some
examples of what the visitors to the centre will hear while shopping.
