360 Kuwait is a destination unlike many in the region and perhaps
the world. One of the main factors that sets the destination apart is
the purpose for which it was created. “Because Kuwait deserves the
best,” was the owners’ unwavering answer to numerous questions
that were posed by sceptical competitors, anxious investors and
even members of their own team who were slowly taking in the
grandiosity of the vision, which would soon fall on their shoulders.

The centre is typically small as is the norm for valley areas in
Switzerland and provides an important community function for the
local population as well as to the international skiing guests from
the popular Crans-Montana area nearby. But the centre needed
revitalisation to give a better trading format for Manor, to reposition
and update the restaurant offer and to update the centres image and
underground car park both which were very dated and unappealing.
It needed to have a wow factor.

Built in 1989 and expanded in 2002 with a parallel mall, nothing
major had been done since 2002 and it was time to change the centre,
update the retail presence, ambience and customer journey to bring
it up to modern day standards and current consumer expectations.
Future proofing the physical retail and showing that this centre has a
place for the local and wider catchment and community in the future
and to attract new retailers, leisure operators, etc to improve the
overall tenant mix and offer was the thinking behind the renovation.

The architectural concept of the neighborhood center was created
by the famous British architect Amanda Levete, the author of the
reconstruction projects including second stage Victoria and Albert
Museum in London and was adapted by Russian Designers. The
internal space of the Rassvet is based on a barrier-free environment
principle: a minimum number of partitions inside the building, so
shopping and public areas seamlessly pass one into another.
