The Sun Gallery project was developed by the architect’s office APA Wojciechowski in cooperation with the architect’s office Altoon & Portet. The building complex conveys the impression of an “urban road front". The barrier-free connection of the gallery’s upper storey with Jagielloński Square through a footbridge over Struga Street also connects the building with the urban pedestrian precinct. The square in front of the main entrance connects with the historic centre of the old city. Based on the number and position of the building entrances, the gallery is “open" and therefore easily accessible. The roofed malls appear as a continuation of the city’s streets.

The gross floor space of this two-storey centre is 110,000 m². On a rentable space of 42,000 m² there are 170 shops with leading clothing trademarks and cosmetic goods of known brands, salons with interior decoration articles and sports shops. The offer is rounded off by numerous restaurants and cafés.
