rejects the typical solid , rectangular box traditionally built over the past 25 years . The architecture and interiors of the mall respond to the precinct ’ s namesake with soft curvilinear lines . The lines of the shopfronts , tiling and feature ceiling recesses combine to create soft , tide-like forms and surfaces .
The development connects with Lagoon Drive through the use of restaurants and terraces for outdoor seating . There has been a conscious effort to create strong indoor / outdoor
relationships and to integrate the mall into the urban environment . The creation of the Oceans Piazza as a public space articulating the hotel and linking to the mall generates a focus for social engagement in the village . This , like the Lagoon Drive frontage , is activated by the use of restaurants , outdoor seating and entertainment spaces . The inclusion of the Platinum Walk occupied by international fashion stores has been used as a differentiating factor for the tenanting of the centre .
