Waterloop shopping is a shopping experience related to water. Water is seen as the most essential element to transform the shopping complex into a place for sports, entertainment, shopping, etc. The water runs through the entire complex like a loop and supplies the water's functions with energy. The energy is provided by wind machines and solar collectors. These energy machines are part of the complex. They make both the hot bath culture and the cold skating culture possible. The complex has been developed indoors and outdoors. Indoor as a shopping mall with trim sports options, including ice skating, bath culture, climbing wall - waterfall, etc. Outdoor is like shopping with smaller shops and restaurants, including water play and public spaces.
