quadruple space under the tensile roof structure , a ‘ park-in-the-sky ’ called Central Park which is surrounded by restaurants and focused around a large , interactive fountain plus a covered stage area to be used for community , exhibition and cultural events .
A new curved entrance building to Menlyn was built creating a front door with restaurant tenants and a Hard Rock Café as the anchors . The curved focal building is approached via a large traffic circle and external fountain anchoring the main access point . Four ‘ Fives Futbol ’ pitches were created on the top level of the existing southern parkade .
Façades Due to the scale of the existing centre ’ s façades it was decided that these façades were mostly going to be repainted in three shades of grey with red accent elements in very selected areas only . The new elevations are mostly plaster and paint with the introduction of some lightweight Etics portals around signage elements rendered in the red accent colour . The external façade to the new Food Court consists of a large east facing flush glazed façade flanked by the oval shape of the Food Court incorporating crisscross bands of LED colour to add interest to this portion of the façade .
