A regional mall equipped for the demands of 21st century retailing.

BDP had a co-ordinated design approach to the public domain where the principles of openness, shelter and enclosure along primary pedestrian routes were a major element in the design concept.

The site development potential was balanced by a concern to address the social dimension of the public spaces; a place to which people are attracted and where they feel both stimulated and secure.

Environmental control was paramount in the development of the design.
