Robinsons Magnolia Park - Harold Guda


Robinsons Magnolia is Robinsons Land Corporation’s most anticipated shopping center project in the metro. For this generation, it will be a gathering place for family, friends and loved ones, the setting for a cache of new memories.




Conceptualized by global design firm RTKL,Robinsons Magnolia's lay-out highlights both the relaxing ambience of an outdoor setting and the cool comforts of sleek interior spaces. Inside, the mall boasts of a grand entrance lobby, and spacious hallways that lead to a four-level al fresco area that overlooks The Plaza, a lushly landscaped open space dotted with water features and an area for live entertainment. The Plaza is where the new Ice Cream House can be found, serving the same old concoctions that we so love. 




 A highlight of Robinsons Magnolia is “The Plaza,” a lush, landscaped open space lined with al fresco restaurants offering wide-ranging cuisines to please every palate. From Filipino to Mediterranean, Asian to Western, and many more, the area will make for a unique dining experience. To satisfy hungry mall-goers or adventurous gourmands, interesting restaurants serving distinctive cuisines will be located at all levels of Robinsons Magnolia. These are placed overlooking The Plaza to give diners a visual feast as they eat.



As for the design principles, (Line) the walkways are spacial, round, and rotating. (Color) warm colors for the interior of the mall and the park with green spaces so as to create a healthy ambiance. (Shape) the mall is shaped geometrically, what you see on the left is also what you see on the right while the park is shaped spherically to maintain a well-balanced zoning. (Space) The plaza itself located at the back of the mall is somewhat considered as its focal point. (Texture) the flowy ambiance makes the mall achieve a soothing environment not only for the kids but also for the adults. 

For the Principles of Composition: (Rhythm) The over-all planning/design has a "Mirror" effect on the site, what you see on the right is what you see on the left. (Variety of shape and sizes) The different shapes and forms of the mall and the park shows more interest in the artwork. (Emphasis) The two shops of Magnolia Ice Cream located at the park gives somewhat an emphasis to the park. (Balance) the balance of the green design of the mall and the park creates a relaxing ambience of an outdoor setting and the cool comforts of sleek interior spaces. (Unity) The calm and eco-friendly environment ensures the mall and park a secured, healthy and fun place for the public.


At Robinsons Magnolia, Robinsons Land combines modern architecture, efficient design and a commitment to quality service. As a place for fun and safe shopping, combined with exceptional dining and entertainment options, this exciting new lifestyle hub will surely delight. It is set to open in the second quarter of 2012.
