ARCH was engaged to provide a modern design response to an aging retail centre in order to reflect the aspirations of the new owners aspirations. Increasing the overall quality of the centre to attract new patrons and increase the standard of retail tenancies, was central to our brief.

Our concept for the centre enlivens the tired architecture to present a retail experience with a fresh approach both with regard to the nature of the food and lifestyle tenants and modern retailing principles, whilst capitalising on opportunities for improved connection between private and urban spaces. This is achieved through the careful assessment of existing building features, detailed coordination of existing building services, and a thorough understanding of the client’s ambitions.

The refurbished centre now offers an improved experience for patrons in a centre that complements its retail and urban context.
