GROUND FLOOR PLAN
The ground floor retail faces onto Tyrwhitt Mall as well as the open pedestrian right-of-way leading to the recently upgraded Firs Shopping Centre . The ground and first floor retail is configured in an L-shape , which is an extension via the enclosed pedestrian bridge of the existing retail at the Zone 1 development . At the western edge this retail level links via an open pedestrian bridge to the loft offices .
The open pedestrian right-of-way to The Firs is flanked at high-level with the loft offices , which is designed in a stepped-backed configuration allowing for light penetration into the ground floor mall , as well as affording the loft tenants the opportunity of open air balconies .
The hotel is positioned parallel to Oxford Road , with its main porte-cochère entrance , lobby and conference rooms at this level . The main reception and dining is positioned on level two . The hotel ’ s pool deck is also situated at this level , which in turn abuts a large roof garden area accessible to some of the loft offices and the large office venue .
The retail at ground floor is predominantly restaurants facing the open malls with mainly fashion-related tenants facing the enclosed malls at both levels . The top level retail is capped by a large glass rooflight affording views of the loft offices and roof landscaping and allowing abundant natural light to penetrate both the first and ground floor enclosed malls . The two enclosed malls are linked via escalators with three of the five basement parking levels .
The redeveloped Tyrwhitt Mall integrates the old and new developments by means of a contemporary paving and landscaping design with the same theme carried through into the Admirals Court link to The Firs . A large sculptural element at the intersection of the two open malls will still be commissioned to complement the new water feature . At this intersection , an iconic , slanted glass and aluminium cone element was introduced as a further focal point with illuminated signage to act as a landmark down Tyrwhitt Avenue .
Three statues by the well-known artist , Ernst Ullman , have been repositioned towards the lower end of Tyrwhitt Mall . Two of these sculptures came from the Mutual Square development and the remaining sculpture was originally part of the old Tyrwhitt Mall .
External finishes are limited to energy efficient glazing in powder coated aluminium window frames , Marmoran banded plaster application , composite aluminium cladding and polished granite plinths to the ground floor pilasters . There are cantilevered aluminium sunscreens to selected areas . Landscaping utilises indigenous plants only at both the open-air ground floor malls and the elevated roof garden areas .
