The Rustic Open Mall is a commercial building design which joins service and entertainment activities, as a place where customers can go shopping or just walk. Its volume is inspired by traditional fishing with small nets. The movement generated by casting nets was used in the formal concept.
Ā 
Located in a residential area between two forest reserves, the Rustic Open Mall tries to integrate with the surrounding natural environment. The concept of the movement of casting nets was also used in the floor plans. Large corridors and halls would allow customers the feeling of an open space, although they would be under a protection roof designed to block sun rays. The building plan has 45 shops and 21 offices.
