Ejido Plaza Shopping Mall, Merida, Venezuela : Lights and color.

in Architecture+Design9 months ago (edited)

Hello, dear friends of this beautiful community, I am very happy to greet you again. I already missed sharing with you, the different architectural nuances that we can find in my State of Merida, Venezuela. From the oldest to the most modern constructions, without leaving behind the traditional ones.

This time, I visited a shopping center called "Ejido, Plaza", this building is located in the center of Ejido, I remember that it was inaugurated a little less than 10 years ago and it is a traditional construction, with a simple facade, but with certain details, that can call the attention.

One of the things that catch my attention are the small balconies, on the second and third floors, precisely, on the second floor, there is a Chinese food restaurant and I think that the balconies, become a great advantage to attract people to the small restaurant.

The material that stands out in the facade are the clay slats, also the wrought iron of the doors and the balcony. As you can see, the building is bounded by two buildings, which makes its facade quite narrow.


Hola, queridos amigos de esta bella comunidad, estoy muy feliz de saludarlos nuevamente. Ya extrañaba compartir con ustedes, los diferentes matices arquitectónicos que podemos encontrar en mi Estado Mérida, Venezuela. Desde las construcciones más antiguas, hasta las más modernas, sin dejar atrás las tradicionales.

En esta oportunidad, visite un Centro Comercial llamado "Ejido, Plaza", este edificio está ubicado en el centro de Ejido, recuerdo que fue inaugurado hace un poco menos de 10 años y se trata de una construcción tradicional, con una fachada sencilla, pero con ciertos detalles, que puede llamar la atención.

Una de las cosas que me llaman la atención son los pequeños balcones, del segundo y tercer piso, precisamente, en el segundo piso, se encuentra un restaurante de comida china y creo que los balcones, se convierten en una gran ventaja para atraer personas al pequeño restaurante.

El material que destaca en la fachada son las tablillas de arcilla, también el hierro forjado de las puertas y el balcón. Como pueden ver, el edificio está limitado por dos edificios, lo que hace que su fachada sea bastante estrecha.


When you enter the mall, the lights and color change the perception of the design. I really like how they played with the geometric shapes to create a visual effect, very interesting and with a lot of depth. They used striking colors with fuchsia, blue and red, which combined with the luminaire, looks nice, harmonious and more cheerful.

Undoubtedly, one of the limitations of this mall is the space. It is quite narrow and elongated, but it is very well distributed. Passing through the different stores is comfortable. Here we find one of the most visited shoe stores, called Ejido Center, some clothing stores, the rest of the stores are destined to the area of technology, sales of cell phones, computer and office accessories.


Al entrar al centro comercial, las luces y el color cambian la percepción del diseño. Me gusta, mucho, cómo jugaron con las formas geométricas, para crear un efecto visual, muy interesante y con mucha profundidad. Usaron colores llamativos con el fucsia, el azul y el rojo, que combinado con la luminaria, se ve agradable, armonioso y más alegre.

Sin duda, una de las limitantes de este Centro Comercial, es el espacio. Es bastante estrecho y alargado, pero está muy bien distribuido. Pasar por las distintas tiendas, resulta cómodo. Aquí encontramos, una de las zapaterías más visitadas, llamada Ejido Center, algunas tiendas de ropa, el resto de las tiendas, están destinadas al área de la tecnología, ventas de celulares, accesorios de computación y oficina.


Something that caught my attention, on this visit, is that the 3rd and 4th floors are totally dedicated to a gym, which is accessed through the elevator. This is something recent, because until recently, there were several stores.


Algo que me llamó la atención, en esta visita, es que el piso 3 y 4, está totalmente dedicado a un gimnasio, al cual se accede a través del ascensor. Esto es algo reciente, porque hasta hace poco, existían distintas tiendas.


The stairs highlight the design of the interior of the building, especially for their circular landing and the materials used in their design. Undoubtedly, they have a lot of presence inside the building.

Another positive element, of the shopping center, is the signage, this is something important, within any design, and a safety rule, which should not be ignored, as well as the installation of fire extinguishers, in accessible areas of the building, in this case, are located right next to the elevator.

In the interior, some walls are also covered with clay slats and others with stone in brown tones, the truth, I consider that everything as a whole, looks pretty good. It is always good to have places like this that allow you to spend a different and enjoyable time.


Las escaleras, destacan el diseño del interior del edificio especialmente por su descanso circular y por los materiales usados en su diseño. Sin duda, tienen mucha presencia dentro del edificio.

Otro elemento positivo, del centro comercial, es la señalización, esto es algo importante, dentro de cualquier diseño, y una regla de seguridad, que no se debe obviar, al igual que la instalación de extintores, en zonas accesibles del edificio, en este caso, se encuentran justo al lado del ascensor.

En el interior algunas paredes también estas revestidas con tablilla de arcilla y otras con piedra en tonos marrones, la verdad, considero que todo en conjunto, se ve bastante bien. Siempre, es bueno, contar con sitios como este, que te permitan pasar un rato diferente y ameno.


I have always thought that the availability of space can affect, in one way or another, the design. In this case, I think the designer achieved a simple and beautiful concept, with an appropriate choice of materials. If you come to visit Ejido, in the state of Merida, I recommend you visit this small shopping center, where you will surely find several stores that will be to your liking, or you can exercise in a gym, which promises.


Siempre he pensado que la disponibilidad del espacio puede afectar, de una u otra manera, el diseño. En este caso, creo que el diseñador, logró un concepto sencillo y bonito, con una elección adecuada de los materiales. Si llegas, a visitar Ejido, en Estado Mérida, te recomiendo visitar este pequeño centro comercial, donde seguro encontrarás varias tiendas que serán de tu agrado, o podrás ejercitarte en un gimnasio, que promete.




Hasta la próxima, un millón de bendiciones a sus familias.

Until next time, a million blessings to your families.

Wow what a contrast between the exterior and the interior, the outside preserves the architecture of the area and the inside looks super modern, I was really surprised.
It is really nice and it doesn't look small, so they did a good job.
Hugs friend thanks for sharing

Thanks friend, as they say out there you should never judge a book by its cover. The inside is totally different from the front. Thank you very much!!!

It is a very nice place, with a good use of space. I was struck by the amount of nice details they have. Thanks for sharing dear @doriangel . A big hug from Maracay.

Thank you very much, despite the small space you managed to create something, with a design that worked. Best Regards !

The vibrant colors are actually lovely. Good to see you exploring spaces.
keep posting @doriangel . Good day.

Thank you very much. The colors create a very nice effect. Greetings and blessings.

Hi @doriangel, the mall is curious, the exterior preserves the colonial design and the interior has a modern and colorful style, every space is used to the maximum.

Greetings!

Yes, the facade is quite traditional and can go unnoticed, but the interior changes everything. Thank you very much.

Hello friend @doriangel , what a pleasure to see your publication here, you are always remembered and missed.

You left me very surprised with this mall, it was a total surprise to see its interior after sj facade that to be honest I did not like anything, unlike its internal part that looks modern, bright and colorful, I love it.

Amiga of the facade I only like the balconies, but the interior is what catches my attention, for its colors and how they managed to make it look modern and striking.

This building looks extraordinary, there is no special design, but from the inside...I like the shape of the lights @doriangel

Yes, the lights highlight the design. Despite being simple. The lights highlight and make it harmonious. Thank you.

Wow😲.The architect really did a good job.Its quite small as you look it outside but when you go inside you will be amazed.

The surprise effect did not fail, it has several stores and it is very pleasant to walk through its aisles, without a doubt, I did a good job. Thank you very much.

It is interesting to see how the facade does not inspire what it really is inside, here in my city there is a similar shopping center with the advantage that they managed to buy the house on the other street and it covers a whole block.

Yes, it usually happens, the facade design is very common but the interior makes a difference. Thank you very much.

I see

It is always great to know these architectural nuances and design elements that make this place unique. The clay slatted balconies and wrought iron details on the facade give it its charm and the interior impresses with its geometric shapes and interesting colors.

You can also appreciate the security measures and the incorporation of the gymnasium. It makes you want to visit that place, sure I would go there if it were not so far away hahaha.

The gym looks great and is quite large, it has everything. The design is functional and safe, plus its shapes make it interesting. Thank you very much for stopping by.
