For this reason Heatherwick Studio was asked to find ways to improve the building. They were asked to carry out an improvement program with a budget of £166 million, keeping the mall, its 130 shops and restaurants. It was the equivalent to design and build 15 different, separate projects but related.
Perhaps the defining falls short and should talk about hundreds of related projects because the care is done in every detail (one of the leaders of the community Detailers) of the building suggests that every corner, each piece was understood, as a project itself. The project was an exercise in detail, on a massive scale, use of materials and forms to communicate a new identity while transmitting confidence original design.
Among those unique details include the sand-cast lift buttons or curbs that allow access to parking cars that bend to let the car.
The entire mall is filled with skylights that let in natural light and structure of wood and stone, which, with its natural imperfections provide heat and light covers.
A part of the remodeling architects add new escalators and elevators. Lifts from a single piece of corrugated glass, custom-made. They also charge inside one of the hotels and the new organization of public space of the terrace, where add more restaurants and a pedestrian walkway.
The top outdoors, which forms the base of the four towers, filled with boxes with plants and new stores are added, such as giving cover to this article. A series of fan-placed skylights allow light to enter the four lower levels. Such is the level of detail set these skylights have their best. To meet the security and fire security skylights have be composed of seven layers of glass. What proposes the Heaterwick Studio is to draw laser in each glass layer a series of "contour" so that by bringing together the seven layers gives the impression that within each there are small illuminated glass pyramids.

Detailers is the online expression of a community of professionals who are considered retailers, and whose speech is promoted by Simon. It is a community that celebrates professionalism in design and project culture. Which takes into account the value and importance of the little things that for those who have thought change completely the perception of the resulting project.
