Shopping Malls
Street-facing glass and metal brand façades, daylight atriums, and skylights over circulation — engineered around a live trading calendar.
Retail & Cultural Building Facades
Facades that draw people in. Hanart builds the glass atriums, sculptural envelopes and daylight-filled spaces of malls, museums, theaters and exhibition halls across the world.
Point-Supported Atriums
Large-Span Skylights
Free-Form Geometry

Project Types
Venues we build facades for
Museums & Galleries
Climate-controlled envelopes with diffused daylight, UV control and ultra-stable temperature — glass and shading engineered to protect the art.
Theaters & Concert Halls
Acoustic isolation is the hero spec: heavy insulated envelopes, sealed joints, and lobbies wrapped in dramatic glazing.
Exhibition & Convention Centers
Huge column-free spans, tall curtain walls and big entrances — structure and facade engineered as one system.
Airports & Transit
Terminal-scale glazing and metal roofing on the critical path of urban mobility projects — see our metal roof systems.
Metal roofing →Cultural Landmarks
Free-form sculpted envelopes in GRC, steel and glass — resolved in BIM and cut by CNC, installed with millimeter discipline.

Signature Elements
The elements that make venues unforgettable
Glass Atriums
Point-supported and cable-net glazing for entrances that feel open, bright and monumental — see point-supported systems.
Large-Span Skylights
Structural glazing and drainage engineering for spans of 10–30 m that flood circulation spaces with daylight.
Sculptural Envelopes
GRC, steel and custom metal panels forming curves and folds that glass grids cannot follow — geometry first, cost second.
Brand Facades
Backlit panels, projection-ready surfaces and metal rainscreens that let a retail brand own its street presence.
Live-Venue Delivery
Building facades around a trading venue
Retail and cultural venues rarely close while their facades are renewed. Our teams plan zone-by-zone, use night shifts and mobile scaffolding, and coordinate dust, noise and hoarding with venue management from day one.
- Phased zone handover so trading never stops
- Night and off-peak installation windows
- Venue-grade dust and noise control
- Safety-first logistics through public areas
FAQ
Retail & cultural facade questions, answered
Retail projects combine glass curtain walls for street presence, point-supported glazing for entrance atriums, skylights over circulation spaces, and rainscreen or metal panels for brand façades. Speed of construction around an operating mall matters most.
Cultural landmarks are usually free-form or sculpted. We combine point-supported glass, GRC, steel and custom metal panels with full 3D engineering and CNC fabrication — the geometry is resolved in BIM before anything is cut.
Yes. Night work, phased scaffolding, and dust/noise control around shoppers are standard practice for our retail teams. We plan zone-by-zone so the venue keeps trading.
Skylights and atriums are our specialty: structural glazing systems, sun-tracking shading and condensate drainage engineered for large spans. See skylight glazing systems for details.
