Our Architecture
The concept behind Arkadia was to rediscover the essence of trade and its importance for the growth of the city. The design of the Centre was inspired by the city.
Its thematic malls (named Kopernik, Vistule, Canaletto, Twardowski) evoke the concept of 19th century European galleries, while the public space in front of Arkadia, which includes a city square with a wide choice of catering establishments and a park, is an excellent place for leisure, a walk, sports and cultural events.
The layout and names of the malls evoke diverse areas of human life, thought and environment: the science, culture, myths and the city itself.

THE CANALETTO MALL
The design of the mall is based on the urban architecture evoking the atmosphere of a high street.
The name of the mall highlights the unique nature of Warsaw as a city aspiring to become a large European metropolitan centre.
THE VISTULA MALL
The architectural design of this mall is associated with Vistula – the largest Polish river.
Aquatic motives built into the floor and ceilings give the impression of a flowing river.
Bright colours and lighting in the form of masts ensure a relaxing atmosphere.

THE TWARDOWSKI MALL
This mall evokes the world of myths and fairytales.
The interior architecture reminds the legend of Master Twardowski, a legendary alchemist, who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for great wisdom and the secrets of magic.
THE COPERNICUS MALL
This mall is an expression of the idea of science.
The decorations evoke astronomy and mathematics, while reflecting discovery passion and works by Poland's greatest astronomer – Nicolas Copernicus.
