This retail complex is on a site previously occupied by a petrol station. Exposed pre-cast panels were used to create a contemporary look, while also keeping costs down. We softened the look of the buildings by adding to the established streetscape of Phoenix Palms.
The complex had to accommodate a variety of businesses, with retail shops augmented by a fitness centre and a corner cafe.
