Description:
A redevelopment of an existing suburban shopping centre, this scheme transforms an erratic array of angular exposed steelwork and a chaotic cascade of jutting awnings into a smooth, voluminous and cohesive whole.
Working around the existing retail tenancies, the public spaces are given a completely new personality and presence through a language of white-tiled massing that envelops the existing steel structure and opens itself to the sky with asymmetrical apertures.
An elevated, planter-topped colonnade buffers the walkways and dining spaces from the carparking with spilling plants that create an experience of cool, shady lushness in Brisbane’s hot, humid subtropical climate.
