MM Gallery at Marcinkowskiego/Św. Marcin St.

Galeria MM is located in Poznań, a city which year by year holds the most recognizable trade events of Central Europe – Poznań International Fair. The city, with its population exceeding 600.000 and eight state universities is one of the largest academic centres in Poland.

Galeria MM was created as a modern downtown shopping centre with an underground parking lot and additional space for offices. It is situated in the very heart of the city in the immediate vicinity of the Old Market and the Liberty Square, at the corner of St. Martin St and Marcinkowski Av. For decades, this area has been recognized as a traditional shopping destination by the citizens of Poznań.

Thanks to smart communication and well-organised function inside, the building perfectly fits in existing pedestrian routes. It was designed to become a passage, which people can use to take a shortcut between the two streets. The inner space of the shopping centre was designed to give it a modern urban look. Food court section invites pedestrians to get inside, shops encourage to go shopping and the highest floors create a high-class office space with an unique view over the Old Town. The external of the building despite its sculptural form harmonizes with nineteenth-century character of the sourrounding architecture.
