The contemporary society understands the code of luxury represented by the black and white contrast. Hence, a place where luxury meets natural life and vernacular tradition, was the core idea throughout the design process of The Village – Outlet Shopping Center.

Located at the gates of Lyon, in the heart of the 2nd tourist wealth of France, on the highway of winter sports, “The Village” represents an exceptional potential, able to accommodate a very large clientele. This architectural complex goes against the traditional pattern and creates a gable roof style cluster of elements, bringing about impressive visual impact. Based on the “harmonious unity of tradition, modernity, and function”, this project creates a brand new luxury lifestyle shopping experience.
