Parkmall Cebu opened its new atrium to the general public early today.
Located in the east wing, the atrium was conceptualized by Parkmall’s managing director Arch. James Co, and brought to life by Cebuano designers, Arch. Buch Sia and Janice Minor.
Parkmall general manager Neal Co said the new atrium will be a centerpiece and a focal point in the mall, where people will be able to relax and unwind.
“Eight years ago we wanted something natural and green, a sample of the Filipino and Cebuano talent,” added James Co.
With the new atrium, Co said they hope to entice people to ‘take a breather’ from their busy schedules and lives and inspire locals to be more creative and innovative.
