We received the AJ100 Employer of the Year Award, as well as 15
major awards for our projects. Our practice was also awarded the
Central & Eastern Europe Architect of the Year in the CEE Retail
Estate Awards for the second consecutive year, and Southern &
Eastern Europe Architect of the Year in SEE Real Estates Awards for
the third year in a row.
In a period of great turmoil in the financial markets, all of our
international offices are still winning new work and we have many
projects currently on site. As a group, we strive to continuously
improve our design skills and to create special places. You will see
that there is a wide variety to the visual appearance of our work.
This is the result of our philosophy of being highly responsive
to context and purpose. In addition, we have created strong
organisational and management structures within the group to
ensure that projects are efficiently implemented.
Our practice is a world leader in the design of mixed use, retail
and leisure developments, and increasingly operates in a variety of
other building sectors, designing many new residential, office and
hospitality projects.
Our success has been underpinned by the skill and hard work of
many people, including our clients and their other consultants.
We are particularly proud that our practice is now made up of
many different nationalities, speaking over 30 languages, all
working towards the common goal of designing and implementing
buildings of excellence.

DELIVERING
SUSTAINABILITY
Making buildings both environmentally sustainable and economically
viable has always been a challenge for designers. However, client
and public perception of the value of effective sustainable design
has changed dramatically. Technological innovations and wider
understanding of efficient systems have meant that this challenge has
become considerably easier.
The requirement for Energy Performance Certificates in buildings
and mandatory Carbon Emission Calculations means that the value
of property portfolios can now be affected by their environmental
credentials. It therefore makes commercial sense for projects
to take full advantage of the marketing opportunities and
potential financial advantages brought by maximising a buildings
environmental performance.
A fundamental approach at Chapman Taylor has always been
about creating the right urban framework and mix of uses that are
the foundation of truly environmentally and socially sustainable
environments. As creative and sustainability–conscious designers,
we have an underlying objective to maximise the potential of any
scheme, whilst striving to minimise its environmental impact.

and natural ventilation of the unconditioned streetscape, which is
estimated to save five million kWh of energy per year— equivalent
to the energy consumed by 450 homes.
The development was honoured with the Sustainable Resource
Award and the Best New Development of the Year: Large, in the
ICSC 2010 Awards.
Peel’s MediaCityUK which comprises media related work places
and studios as well as 371 apartments, a 216 bed hotel and other
ancillary uses, has become the first development in the world
to attain a BREEAM approved Sustainable Community status.
Incorporating leading technological solutions into the design of this
£500m development included making use of one of its greatest
assets—water from the Manchester Ship Canal to cool the
tri–generation combined heating, power and cooling plant that
supplies all the buildings on the 36 acre site.
Gordion Shopping Centre opened its doors in September 2009
in Turkey and was the first project to receive a BREEAM rating in
Ankara. This followed the success of Erzurum Shopping Centre,
also by Chapman Taylor, which was rated Very Good earlier last
year and served as a pilot project for the development of the
BREEAM Europe Retail scheme. Gordion Shopping Centre partially
generates its own energy on site. A co–generation system provides
approximately 18% of the centres electricity needs. The efficiency
of the system is maximized by using waste heat for both heating
and cooling. This will lead to lower CO2 emissions than in any other
shopping centre in Turkey.
The 106,000m² inner city regeneration project at Forum
Duisburg, Germany, was the first retail project in mainland Europe
We have established a strong and successful working relationship
to be awarded a BREAAM Very Good rating for its impressive

In the UK, a sustainable approach was implemented from the
average total energy consumption by at least 25 percent compared
outset on the multi–award–winning integrated urban regeneration
to that of similar building types. Furthermore, a 10,000m² lawn

Chapman Taylor is a member of the Green Building Council in the
UK, which was launched in February, 2007 to bring clarity, purpose
and co–ordination of sustainability strategy to the sector.
Chapman Taylor has in–house BREEAM assessors and a dedicated
Sustainability Group tasked with promoting awareness and
disseminating knowledge of effective and relevant sustainable
design internally and to our clients.

SALFORD QUAYS, manchester // uk
Client: Peel Holdings
The UK’s first media city has its roots in the ambition to become
one of the world’s biggest media brands. Back in late 2004 the
BBC announced it was searching for a new northern centre
where it could relocate five London based departments. In August
2005, Peel Holdings’ Salford Quays was shortlisted as one of four
potential sites being considered by the Corporation.
The BBC selected MediaCityUK as their preferred site in July
2006. The management contractor, Bovis Lend Lease started
the construction of Phase 1 in May 2007, with full completion
scheduled for the end of 2010.
The first building was completed in September 2009 and the first
residents started moving into their new apartments.
Throughout 2010— and into 2011—the rest of Phase 1 will
gradually open for business.
The completed phase one development includes major new offices,
production facilities and studios for the BBC as well as a separate
studio complex, hotel, speculative office buildings, new media
department for Salford University, a site–wide energy centre,
retail /catering facilities and multi–storey car park, all set within a
high quality public realm that incorporates a large media piazza,
Metrolink terminus and a park.
Sitting above two of the BBC buildings are towers that provide 378
apartments designed by Chapman Taylor. These range from studio
flats to 3 bedroom duplex penthouses. The detail design specifies
high quality materials and fittings, creating upmarket, contemporary
accommodation, in the heart of this innovative and creative hub to
rival many media cities emerging around the world.
Surrounded by water, MediaCityUK has not only completely
transformed the Salford Quays landscape and skyline, but became
the first development in the world to obtain BREEAM Sustainable
Community status, incorporating world leading sustainability into
the design of the £500m development.
The BBC will commence broadcasting from MediaCityUK during
2011. By that time five of their national departments, including
Sport, Children’s Radio and 5 Live, will have relocated to the site.

SITUATED IN THE HEART OF BELGRADE, UŠĆE
IS SERBIA’S MOST INNOVATIVE AND MODERN
RETAIL AND LEISURE DESTINATION.
UŠĆE Shopping Centre opened in March, 2009. Situated in
the heart of Belgrade, it has more than 120 shops, as well as a
cinema, bowling alley, casino and a family entertainment area. The
130,000m2 centre covers three commercial floors and incoporates
two levels of car parking.
The building is located in an area of great importance to the city,
backing onto a large urban park where the Sava and Danube rivers
meet, and acts as a strategic connection between the new and the
old Belgrade.
Fronted by a large triangular plaza, the main façade of zinc, steel,
and glass creates a modern landmark for the city with striking,
sculptured elements which are echoed in the landscaping of the
surrounding area, characterised by strong geometric patterns.
The building’s innovative architectural style is emphasised in the
evenings through the lighting that illuminates the façade from
different angles, with different shades and degrees of intensity.
The use of high quality natural materials and a sophisticated
lighting system is repeated in the interior design. During the
day; natural light floods through the skylight that covers the
entire length of the roof, giving life to the elegant theme of the
contemporary interior design and providing a complementary
balance to the bright colours of the exterior.

ISTANBUL // TURKEY
Client: Multi Development Turkey
WITH 495,000M² OF CONSTRUCTION AREA, 175.000M² OF GLA AND 265 NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL BRANDS REPRESENTED, FORUM ISTANBUL IS THE LARGEST SHOPPING CENTRE
IN EUROPE TODAY, WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS ‘A CITY WITHIN THE CITY.’
Forum Istanbul was one of the most important shopping centre
openings of 2009. With 495,000 m² total construction area,
175,000m² rentable space and 265 national and international
brands represented, it is the largest shopping centre in Europe. It
opened its doors to the public on the 17th of November with a
total investment of €750 million. Located at the crossroads of two
important motorways, a metro line, and the largest regional bus
station, Forum Istanbul aims to draw 25 million visitors per year.
This unique development adds a new dimension to the existing
retail market in the region.
Entrance from

The scheme concept is 'a city within a city,' producing a complete
urban experience with boulevards, piazzas, avenues, courtyards
and monumental buildings. The interplay of these elements
created streets with long views and narrow lanes with shadows
and contrasts in scale, and public squares with different spatial
qualities. Public areas are beautifully landscaped and offer suitable
space for festivals, concerts, markets and sports events. Chapman
Taylor was appointed in June 2007 by Multi TurkMall to develop
the exterior and interior design based on a concept prepared by
T+T Design and BDP, and to assist on site during its execution.

A DYNAMIC NEW CONTEMPORARY SHOPPING ENVIRONMENT
WHICH RESPECTS THE ARCHITECTURE OF THIS ICONIC BUILDING

We completed the reconstruction of a 'world class' department
store for Tesco in Prague on the 21st of September 2009. The
store, branded as “MY” (formally “Maj”), is located on Narodni
Trida in the heart of the city. The 1975 building is a National
Cultural Monument and represents a rare example of a rigorous
architectural concept being realised under the communist regime.
The store offers 12,000m² of sales area on 6 levels.
The escalators are located separately to the main retail floors in
a precursor to the Pompidou Centre. Our Prague office worked
closely with the authors of the original design (1971) to create
a respectful modernisation of the building to meet the needs of
contemporary consumers. The interiors concept was developed by
Fitch in the UK. The MY department store concept will initially be
rolled out throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

including a residential element and provision for a health club. The
masterplan revitalised and strengthened links to the railway station
and provides the basis of a wholly integrated transport interchange
via the adjacent new bus station.
Chapman Taylor worked for 15 years on the project that has
transformed what was a rather squalid area of this World Heritage
listed city by the intervention of an extension to the traditional
urban grain of Bath, through a series of new public streets and
spaces to complete the city centre.
The opening of the first phase proved to be a success with
automatic counters registering a footfall of 80,000 people on the
first weekend alone.
The scheme was designed with respect to the city’s Georgian
architecture and contains a mix of uses anchored by retail,

Client: Orco Property Group
THE OBJECTIVE OF THis RECONSTRUCTION WAS TO RATIONALIsE AND MODERNISE THE FOUR
EXISTING BUILDINGS, TWO OF THEM LISTED, TO PROVIDE NEW HIGH QUALITY OFFICE SPACE.
The first Legiobanka building was designed in the rondocubist
style by the renowned architect Josef Gočár and completed in
1921. The building is a scheduled national monument and an
outstanding example of this unique style. The adjacent building
was constructed in 1938 to the designs of Frantisek Marek, a
former pupil of Gočár’s, in the contemporary functionalist style.
The reconstruction provides 20,000m² of flexible office space and
the building also contains shops, restaurants and a well known
theatre. The objective of the reconstruction was to modernise and
rationalise the buildings after they were vacated by the previous
owners /occupiers, and to provide a new high quality public space
in the former courtyard.

ALLEE
BUDAPEST// HUNGARY
Client: ING Real Estate Development
A NEW Mixed use DEVELOPMENT OF RETAIL, LEISURE,
RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE IN THE HEART OF BUDAPEST.
Allee was opened in November, 2009 in Budapest’s lively 11th
district. It occupies a 3 hectare urban block with active frontages on
all sides within a dense residential area incoporating excellent public
transport links. It is a mixed use scheme of 47,000m²; comprising
retail & leisure, 89 residential units and 7,000m² offices, which has
transformed this part of the city into a lively commercial centre.
The combination of global experience and local focus on cultural
sensitivity was key in the delivery of this highly contextual
development in the heart of the city centre. The main focus was
on the wider masterplan and the connectivity to the surrounding
city fabric with new pedestrianised streets, two new public squares
and a new local park. This approach of designing from the outside
in, enabled the team to avoid the pitfalls of the usual ‘box’ type
commercial developments and give the local residents a new
‘meeting place’ to own and cherish.
The design concept divides the scheme into six distinctive buildings
linked to each other by covered arcades. Each building has its
own architectural style and character. The galleried streets create a
dramatic ‘sense of place’ with a distinctive character.
Sustainability was the determining factor in the choice of building
materials and technologies. The use of durable local materials, such
as limestone, marble and red brick was combined with high quality
modern materials of metal /glass applied in innovative ways, which
gives the centre a contemporary look with subtle classical feel. The
three level fully glazed atrium and malls utilise natural ventilation
to minimise energy use.
The car park entry/exit solution with a new 100 metre long underpass
vehicular route helped to minimise the impact on the surrounding
residential area and reduce air pollution. At the same time this also
created a new, quiet pedestrian street for the local residents.
"...Delivered on schedule and fully let
ahead of the opening, Allee proves that
well − located and well − designed retail
projects can succeed in the midst of a
deep recession..."

it an attractive leisure offer. Anchor
tenants include Interspar, Electroworld,
Marks&Spencer, Mango, H&M, Zara,
Cinema City and Van Graaf; along with
underground parking for 1,280 cars.
Menno Maas, CEO of ING Retal Estate
Development, said: “With Allee we are
setting a new standard for shopping in
Budapest and I am very happy that so
many strong brands want to be here.
Delivered on schedule and fully let ahead
of the opening, Allee proves that well–
located and well–designed retail projects
can succeed in the midst of a deep
recession. I am proud of the outstanding
achievement of our team and our
partners on the project.”
Executive architect for the shopping
centre and offices was Finta Studio.
Executive architects for the residential
was Lukacs & Vikar and T2a Architects.
Allee has won the local
CIJ award in 5 categories,
including Best Real

on a brownfield site on the northern side of Romania’s capital.
The district of Calea Floreasca, where the building is situated,
is developing into a modern upscale business district. Some
advantages of this location are its immediate proximity to the
beautiful Floreasca lake and its ideal connection to various means
of transportation including several bus lines and the metro.
The building is divided into two separate parts, each with its own
entrance and reception, as well as a full height atrium, circulation
and amenity core.
The Floreasca development has an efficient floor plate that is
suitable for multiple, as well as, single tenant occupancy. Parking is

A WORLD CLASS DINING EXPERIENCE
AT THE LOUVRE MUSEUM IN THE NEWLY
REFURBISHED FOOD COURT.
The Carrousel du Louvre is the shopping gallery attached to the
Louvre Museum in Paris. The original food court, built in 1998,
no longer met the expectations of discerning international
visitors and so the new owners commissioned a fresh design
approach. Our design extended and enhanced the food court
element to introduce a more contemporary flavour to its layout
and design. New seating areas and counters were designed to
bring together a disparate and complex layout, whilst creating
a world class dining experience.
The design of the ten thematic kiosks was inspired by the
colours, shapes and forms specific to the country they
represent: warm sunny colours and 3D sculptures inspired
by Miró and Gaudi in the Spanish kiosk, and fine wine and
gastronomic themes in the French part of the scheme.
The new Autogrill offers a variety of gastronomic styles from
around the world in a fresh, modern environment.

This major shopping mall in downtown Shanghai was

Set in a prime central location, on the site of a former bus station,
this new mixed use scheme contains shops, restaurants, offices,

This centrepiece connects the surrounding streets, and an existing

A DYNAMIC AND COMPATIBLE COMBINATION OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE.
Gordion Shopping Centre opened its doors to the public in Ankara
on the 17th of September, 2009. With more than 165 shops in a
total area of about 50,000m2, the Centre adds a new dimension to
the shopping experience in Ankara, with a great variety of national
and international retail brands, restaurants, cafes and leisure activities.
It is the first 'green' shopping centre and the first BREEAM–
certified building in Ankara. It received a BREEAM rating of Very
Good, following the success of Erzurum Shopping Centre, also by
Chapman Taylor, which was rated Very Good in 2009, and served
as a pilot project for the development of the BREEAM Europe
Retail scheme.
With its unique design, the building stands out as a landmark in
this Ankara suburb. Inspiration for the concept was drawn from
local history and architectural tradition. The red bands decorating
the ceiling represent the local legend of Alexander the Great, who
untied the Gordian knot with a bold strike to become the king of
Asia in the middle of the 4th Century BC.
The design introduces an urban, sophisticated feel to this new
part of the city, with sculpted, contemporary architecture playing
a key role at the entrances and in the treatment of façades and
materials. The shopping promenade is organised around a single
‘street’ with three main squares. Entering the centre through the
south entrance there is the Bijoux Square, bringing light to the
lower floors with its kaleidoscopic play of coloured diamonds.
Further down the street there is the Central Square, suggestive of
an urban plaza.
Gordion shopping centre will partially generate its own energy on
site. A cogeneration system will provide approximately 18% of
the centre’s electricity needs. The efficiency of the system will be
maximised by using waste heat for both heating and cooling. This
will lead to lower CO2 emissions than in any other shopping centre Crowning this sequence is the Food Court Square, with vertical
decorative and structural elements rising from ground level

A NEW DIMENSION IN DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO
ONE OF EUROPE'S LARGEST shopping CENTRES
Over recent years the owners of Metrocentre, one of
Europe’s largest shopping and entertainment centres,
have been working on a modernisation programme
to ensure that it keeps pace with the latest trends and
meets the aspirations of today’s customers.
This included a major remodelling and redecoration of
the Yellow Mall and the opening of a new part of the
centre —Metrocentre Qube, which introduced an extra
dimension in leisure and dining.
The stylish new mall, has five restaurants, a fully licensed
bar screening Sky Sports, a Namco Funscape with bowling
alley and the fastest dodgem track in Europe. A brand
new state of the art ODEON multiplex cinema with 12
screens offers a VIP area, a 3D screen and the first IMAX
theatre in the region.
The bright, modern and contemporary design with
distinctive black and yellow branding is becoming a very
popular part of the centre.
Three major art pieces have been commissioned for
Metrocentre Qube, all by local artists. The first was
recently unveiled on the first floor next to YO! Sushi,
a striking sculpture of two giant polished steel cones
named ‘This & That,' by Northumberland based artist
Colin Rose.
The title ‘This & That’ came from the idea of a
dialogue between the two pieces. Each piece weighs
approximately a tonne and took three months to
fabricate and polish, giving it a highly mirrored finish.
Extra art pieces were installed in June including ‘Outside
In,' a sculpture of scattered stainless steel cubes by
Stephen Newby. A community art project was also
installed, by artists Theresa Easton, Chloe Daykin and
Chris Morton.
A bold double–height space with
balconied restaurants opened
up a former old–fashioned
food court, and a light bright
palette of finishes has totally
