passages and dramatic contrasting bulkheads , which bring a sense of spaciousness indoors .
The ceiling features contemporary linear lighting , while the mall is awash with natural light from glazed clerestory windows . The ceilings have recessed bulkheads , also painted in contrasting colours , to emphasise the geometric patterns .
Geometric patterns in shades of grey are a distinctive feature of the floor tiling at Tshakhuma Mall , paying homage to the traditional decorative patterns of the Vhembe people .
Food Court “ The food court is such an integral part of any retail development . We create these spaces with the distinct purpose of connecting with our customers ,” explains McCormick .
Tshakhuma Mall ’ s food court spills out of the centre via covered walkways and has a lovely view of the surrounding farms and houses .
The mall design takes water and electricity challenges into account - both solar and wastewater management initiatives were included from the initial planning stages of the project .
Self-Sufficiency & Landscaping Tshakhuma Mall is completely self-sufficient . The site has its own borehole and sewerage and wastewater management plant , with solar installation .
