OMNI SQUARE, BASSONIA
Set against a backdrop of lush green landscapes and rocky hills, Omni Square in Bassonia introduces a fresh approach to suburban retail – one that blends naturally into its environment whilst offering a warm, community-focused atmosphere.
Designed by SVA International, the architectural language draws directly from its environmental context, using a palette of timber, brick, and steel in earthy tones that echo the textures of the surrounding koppies. These materials are layered to create depth and rhythm across the façades, while large canopy-covered walkways provide shelter and visual continuity throughout the development. The result is a calm, cohesive environment that feels inviting from the moment you arrive.
Social connection is central to the design. A double-level restaurant court anchors the experience, opening onto a series of terraces, balconies, and generous outdoor dining areas. External seating zones are surrounded by greenery and softened with ambient lighting, creating cozy, comfortable places to gather throughout the day.
Natural light filters through the centre, enhancing a sense of openness and ease. Landscaped walkways and planted edges guide visitors through the space. Green pockets and trees not only soften the architecture but also reflect the natural setting, creating a quiet continuity between the built and natural worlds.
Anchor tenants Checkers and Food Lovers Market bring everyday convenience, grounding the centre with well-loved
brands that complement the lifestyle offering. Their presence supports a well-balanced mix of retail and dining, tailored to meet the needs of the local community.
Directly across the road, the existing Bassonia Shopping Centre is also set to undergo a façade and tenant upgrade. Together, the two centres will form a complementary retail hub – bringing renewed energy to the area and offering a wider variety of shopping, dining, and social spaces that serve the evolving needs of the Bassonia community.
With its layered materials, generous canopies, and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor space, Omni Square is more than a place to shop – it’ s a thoughtfully designed community hub that feels right at home in Bassonia’ s unique landscape.
