Liverpool Interlomas, Department store in Interlomas, Huixquilucan, Mexico
Liverpool Interlomas is a department store in the Paseo Interlomas mall in Huixquilucan, Greater Mexico City. Its three above-ground stories are clad in a double-layered stainless steel surface fabricated by Zahner, designed by Rojkind Arquitectos. The 30,000 m² building also houses a 16-screen Cinepolis cinema, an ice rink, 12 restaurants and a food court with 180 vendors.
Rojkind Arquitectos designed the building from July to December 2010, and construction ran from March to October 2011. The project was led by Michel Rojkind, with interiors by Cincinnati-based FRCH Design Worldwide, the rooftop garden by Thomas Balsley and the gourmet space by JHP Design.
The building's nickname, "El OVNI" (the UFO), comes from its folded stainless steel shell, and the name is used by locals alongside the store name. The rooftop park, designed by Thomas Balsley, welcomes friends, families and pets, and the complex also holds a 16-screen Cinepolis cinema, an ice rink, 12 restaurants and a food court with 180 vendors.
The building is laid out in clearly defined zones for shopping, dining, and entertainment across its different levels. Visitors should expect to find many people there, especially on weekends and evenings.
The metal exterior transforms at night as light filters through the folded surface, revealing hidden patterns that are invisible during the day. This creates an entirely different impression of the same facade between daylight and darkness.
