A piece of nature
fits in the supermarket, as this one integrates the landscape. Its
fourth façade provides direct natural light. The others façades are made of translucent glass
from outside to inside and completely transparent one from inside to
outside. During the last ten years, this familial company asked to several architects to draw its supermarkets.
