The Mirdif Avenue Mall in Dubai is a shopping centre that stretches over three levels, with a total surface area of 22,300 m². The custom curved roof construction with a span width of 25 metres is a particularly eye-catching feature of the horseshoe-shaped design that opens out to the south-east.

The expansive roof construction with the Schüco Grid2Shell self-supporting aluminium/glass construction offers maximum freedom for executing the three-dimensional roof and façade designs. Due to the high level of pre-fabrication for the self-supporting connector system, the entire roof construction can be easily installed on-site as a Plug-and-Play modular system.
A key benefit of Grid2Shell is that all of the system components are fabricated completely from aluminium, which is unique worldwide. This means that the construction is much lighter and the star-shaped nodes can be machined out to follow the contour of the profiles, making them barely visible any more. Aluminium fabrication also offers the option of powder coating, meaning individual surfaces can be finished in the same colour as the load-bearing profiles.
The 1800 m² freeform construction sitting on a total of 20 “tree pillars” creates an airy atmosphere with excellent views to the outside. The FACID textile façade used provides optimum shading of the café terraces inside the complex. For the inner courtyard façades of the individual gallery rows, the Schüco FWS 50 and FWS 50 SG façade systems, the Schüco ADS 65 HD door system and the Schüco AWS 114 window system were also used.
