in this area, only the kitchens are enclosed and
the Urban Eatery features 6.5m high ceilings and
a massive feature window which looks out to the
north over the undeveloped green parklands of
Simbithi Eco-Estate.
“Urban Eatery features subdued lighting and
is a step in a new direction from the garish, bright
and loud food court areas of the past,” says
Pearce. Owing to the massive window, the Eatery
is dark when it is dark outside, which creates
52
an intimate atmosphere. Specialist lighting sees
the mood change during the day, creating both
sunrise and moonlight effects during appropriate
times of the day.
There are various abstract references to
water and sand throughout Ballito Junction.
Timber boardwalks, bubble mobiles, jellyfish
mobiles and undulating waves in the ceilings all
come together for a relaxing and contemporary
shopping experience.
