Soon after their purchase of the existing Melrose Arch Precinct , our client , Melrose Investment Holdings decided that the property should be improved with the inclusion of a more extensive retail offer to their patrons .
Clients ’ Brief In keeping with the existing urban design code , this retail development was to be incorporated within a mixed-use development . A brief for 24,000m 2 of retail combined with 30,000m 2 of offices with a total height restriction of six storeys including a public open space and an extension to the super basement sufficient to accommodate the parking requirements was issued as the bulk requirement for the proposed erven located on the northern side of Crescent Drive .
Urban Design The architects envisaged a new development that would integrate seamlessly with the existing Melrose Arch surface and basement movement patterns . With the formation of a new public space , named the Melrose Piazza , on the northern side of the allocated erven and the introduction of an additional pedestrian walk named Slip Street , they have managed to create a natural movement line between the existing
Melrose Piazza is a welcome addition to the mixed-use retail , office and leisure precinct
