Architect and Builder August/September 2018 | Page 35

The architects are very happy with the
development and the end result. They would have
done a few things differently, however, given the
origin as explained previously and the change of
scope they are very satisfied with how the building
turned out visually. It could be said that “the money
was spent in all the right places”.
In order to be as efficient as possible, the
following measures were implemented: water
saving fixtures, sensor and LED lights. Many areas
in the mall make use of natural light necessitating
less electrical demand. The main focus was to make
the mall more energy efficient in terms of practical
design as opposed to a high technology route.
