modern super yachts , incorporating curved flowing lines , contemporary materials of glass , stainless steel and aluminium panelling and natural timber . The aesthetic is continued internally with extensive timber panelling providing a warm texture throughout the mail experience . The Mall entrances are emphasised with double height flushed glazed curtain wall glass , contrasted against polished concrete entrance portals and columns . The extensive glazing provides natural light into the lead in malls . The inclusion of natural light is an essential element of the mall design and is provided by a continuous central skylight throughout the mall .
Access The Mall offers 1,300 outside and 2,000 undercover parking bays below the retail level and easy access to the retail level via three main lobbies . The basement lobbies open up to the retail level via large voids that are further emphasised by large skylights overhead , allowing natural light to penetrate into the basement lobby area . The ease of customer use and navigation was paramount and the basement lobbies are designed as an extension of the mall experience . Escalators and feature stairs provide quick and easy access to the retail level above , with service areas such as ATM ’ s , public toilets , centre management offices providing essential facilities in accessible locations .
Particular attention during the design process was focused on easy access to the building by consumers arriving by car and on foot or public transport . Access to the semi-basement parking is simple and clear . From the entry points on Berkshire Boulevard , customers access the basement without negotiating any change in level and drive straight into the covered parking . From there , access to the mall is via the basement lobbies in three well positioned locations .
For customers wanting to park in the open or arriving on foot , forecourt parking is provided that includes pedestrian pathways from the external road network . The mall building faces onto the open parking area with entry into the mall via three entrances . Importantly , the main façade facing the parking is treated as an active edge with shops located along it . A wide , well landscaped walkway creates a street edge along the main façade which is further emphasised with a cantilevered canopy . From the three external entrances , the lead in malls are kept intentionally short , with the outer lead in malls being angled towards the centre of the forecourt parking .
