the practical needs of everyday shopping. At the same time, food and lifestyle tenants are positioned to animate the public-facing spaces, particularly around the central piazza.
The food court is deliberately positioned outside, reinforcing the development’ s connection to the natural beauty of the site and surrounding landscape. Shaded seating and a play area create opportunities for families to enjoy the outdoors while remaining within the retail environment. The intention is to encourage‘ fun in the sun’ while
providing comfortable spaces in which to eat, meet and relax.
Throughout the centre, smaller interventions reinforce this people-focused approach. Spaces have been provided where visitors can sit, connect, charge a phone or simply enjoy a coffee. These details contribute to a retail environment that recognises that contemporary shopping centres increasingly function as places to spend time rather than destinations visited solely to make purchases.
