What were the main technical challenges of this build?

The Champions League Experience Brasil build combined several sources of complexity at once: an operating mall, a compressed timeline, dozens of suppliers and a program that mixes dining, retail and immersive entertainment. The challenges fall into four groups.

Building inside an operating mall

Shopping Market Place stayed open throughout construction. CH3 coordinated 85 workers at the same time in an active commercial complex, under deadline pressure, and managed dozens of suppliers at once. Strict schedule control served to prevent a domino effect, in which one supplier's delay holds up all the others.

Integrating high-load systems

The space was sized for 200 people at a time. That required synchronizing high-load electrical networks, complex air-conditioning systems and robust lighting and audiovisual designs. Coordination between these systems and the architectural vision continued throughout the build.

Making the commercial kitchen work

The restaurant and sports bar run equipment with high heat output, such as Josper and Fornoflex ovens. To support it, CH3 installed dedicated electrical infrastructure and very-high-capacity hood and exhaust systems, integrating the kitchen with service to the rooftop and events.

Turning technology into experience

The immersion relied on high-speed data networks, interactive displays, automated lighting control to recreate the atmosphere of the stadiums and scenography with precise technical millwork to enclose the equipment. Every structure had to be built accurately to deliver visual impact from the UEFA tunnel to the activations on the field.

On top of all this, the finishes went through quality control at every stage so that the look lived up to the world's top club competition. As Bruno Chohfi, a partner at CH3, sums it up, the project required building under pressure, managing teams at scale and delivering technical innovation with precision.
