entrances between the existing buildings into pleasant retail malls . Faced , however , with derelict buildings and a high demand for retail space , the onset was to sustainably demolish the existing structures by using the crushed materials by shaping the land into the required platforms the retail centre required .
Retail Principles In doing so , it gave rise to the opportunity to express the building to a very active Uitenhage Road , resulting in good retail principles being applied , some of which are : that the entrances and parking must be visible from the main roads , the parking has a natural flow and service areas are hidden behind the building with separate access .
The overall dynamic of the building is further scaled in relation to the existing surrounding
industrial context with specific emphasis on the main entrances to the mall through large entrance porticos that , on one hand , mitigate the scale of the existing surrounding industrial buildings and , on the other , enhance the retail offering it provides .
The distributions of different tenants , with an emphasis on food tenants at strategic positions such as the main entrance , further enhance the experience of a pedestrianised retail node .
