Port Adelaide Shopping Complex - Completed Design
Development (2003)
Major shopping complex, inclusive of six department stores/supermarkets, 200
specialty stores, restaurant and cinema, to be sited at historic Port Adelaide,
South Australia. The site offered the unique advantage of being on a disused
wharf, allowing for river views in an area cited for strong commercial and residential
development. A spiraling glass encased ramp is the centrepiece of the scheme,
linking all areas of the complex, including a number of public rooftop areas.
Contrary to the cliche' shopping complex designs we often see, a high degree
of porosity was sought, with the end result being a bleeding effect, throughout
the structure, and encompassing the site, often questioning the notion of what
is deemed inside and out. Landscape design was a major component in addressing
the waterfront, and the wharf extending to the major traffic and pedestrian thoroughfare
of Port Adelaide, resulting in a promenade, market area and stepped levels softening
the transition between structure and waterline.
