For the first time in its 30-year history , Eastgate ’ s new outdoor lifestyle extension offers patrons an opportunity to experience the wonderful climate . The extension includes an open-air piazza surrounded by restaurants on the existing roof , as well as a new food court and additional retail space and parking . Designed by MDS Architecture and built by Grinaker-LTA , the new lifestyle component has increased the landmark centre ’ s gross lettable area by 12,000m 2 .
Sean Pearce , the partner leading the project at MDS Architecture , says that the design is contemporary and experiential .
Liberty Property Group , who owns Eastgate , wanted a fresh design to create a new outdoor attraction for the popular centre .
Open Air Piazza Eastgate customers now have a fine dining area that spills onto the rooftop piazza and a striking triple-storey glass atrium in stark contrast to the old outdated structure . “ The piazza is open and boasts earthy finishes such as stone and timber , neutral palettes and glass , which provides not only natural light but evokes openness and transparency ,” says Pearce .
