With great attention invested in planning the volumes and the
locations of the doors and windows, the building is characterised by
its mono-chrome cladding in porcelain stoneware tiles of differing
sizes, which are laid here using the ventilated curtain wall technique.
Designed as a monolith extending up from the earth, the complex
employs a contemporary compositional style which is calm and
balanced, moving away from the typical shopping centre style to take
on a more urban vibe.
