When it comes to retail, first impressions aren’t just important—they’re everything. The exterior of a commercial building sets the tone for customer expectations and brand perception. That’s exactly why Chennai Shopping Mall, one of the most iconic retail destinations in Vizag, decided to undergo a remarkable exterior transformation with the help of Alumaze – a trusted name in high-performance aluminium facades solutions.

In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of this stunning makeover, showcasing the before and after transformation of the Chennai Shopping Mall in Vizag using premium ACP cladding by Alumaze.

Before the Makeover: A Functional Yet Uninspired Facade

Before the transformation, Chennai Shopping Mall’s facade was plain, ageing, and utilitarian. The structure lacked visual impact and failed to reflect the premium shopping experience inside. Although the mall had loyal foot traffic, it needed a fresh, modern identity that could attract new customers and elevate the brand image.

Key challenges with the old facade:

  • Outdated exterior design
  • Lack of visual appeal and modern branding
  • Exposure to weather-related wear and tear
  • No architectural distinction from nearby buildings

That’s when the mall’s management turned to Alumaze for a modern solution that balances aesthetics, durability, and branding.

Alumaze Solution: The Power of Aluminium Facades

Alumaze specializes in ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) cladding, combining engineering expertise with premium-grade materials to deliver custom facade solutions for commercial and residential spaces.

For Chennai Shopping Mall, we proposed a modern, heritage-inspired aluminium facades that would:

  • Reflect the brand’s elegance and legacy in ethnic wear
  • Withstand Vizag’s coastal climate
  • Offer easy maintenance with a long-lasting finish
  • Enhance customer attraction with vibrant, rich visuals

During Construction: Engineering Meets Design

As seen in the “before” image, scaffolding surrounded the structure as our team worked diligently to install the high-performance ACP panels. The design focused on precision, symmetry, and a color palette that aligns with Chennai Shopping Mall’s traditional South Indian brand identity.

Work highlights during the project phase:

  • Installation of fire-resistant, UV-protected aluminium panels
  • Seamless alignment of front elevation and branding space
  • Integration of lighting-friendly structures for night visibility

Despite the scale and complexity, the project was completed efficiently without compromising daily operations at the site—a true testament to our experienced on-site team.

After the Transformation: A New Landmark Emerges

The completed façade is nothing short of breathtaking. The “after” image reveals a dazzling, regal exterior that now sets Chennai Shopping Mall apart as a visual landmark in Vizag.

Key features of the new facade:

  • Classical-meets-contemporary design: Balancing tradition and modernity
  • Strategically placed branding: With prominent logo and product visuals
  • Elegant color scheme: With ivory, gold, and maroon hues
