SM Megamall has grown so much more with the addition of the Mega Atrium, an exciting new lifestyle in the Ortigas Center.
This niche mall within the iconic SM Megamall is located over Julia Vargas Avenue, and fully bridges the gap between Mega A and B. It has a space of 16,000 sqm and has four levels.
With Megamall being a linear development that spans more than half a kilometer, the Mega Atrium is envisioned to be a center of respite and relaxation. Its strategic central location provides a convenient stop for mall visitors to relax and literally catch their breath while enjoying dining at specialty restaurants.
Upscale retail shops and restaurants are planned around a circular atrium with an area of 452 sqm. Access to the center is to offer an air of drama and surprise. Off the existing bridgeway, the visitor approaches the center through a low ceiling hallway that widens towards a cylindrical skylight.
Dynamic non-concentric circles on the floor are achieved with the application of yellow tiles of varied hues. An equally dynamic skylight design matches the non-concentric circles on the floor. The curved patterns ripple out beyond the atrium area on both floors and ceiling to great consistency and harmony to the general look of the center.
The fifth level of the Mega Atrium is the new site of the 1,700 sqm Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord. Designed by Architect Gervacio "Joey" Amistoso, the grand chapel has a modern architectural concept with the Eucharist as the focal point in the retablo or altar with the crucified Christ in the middle. The retablo is neo-classical design, which contrasts with the modern theme of the rest of the chapel.
The color scheme of the area is earth inspired using neutrals like beige and brown. Finishes are similar to those stones of used during the Romans times. which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression but in a soft and warm approach.
The Mega Atrium is an exciting addtion to the 330,000 sqm SM Megamall, one of the world's largest malls. Megamall, which opened in 1991, is said of have spearheaded what is termed in mailing phenomenon with its size, world class designs, and new concepts including the Artwalk and Art center and Megatrade Hall. The Atrium adds an upscale vibe to the mall.
The Mega Atrium design team includes Arquitectonica, mall designer, W.V. Coscolluela and Associates, architects; Monolith Construction and Development Corp., general contractor; and DA Abcede and Associates project manager.
