Shopping Centres

The architecture of shopping centres connects retail interiors with shared public areas and parking, while mall design organises circulation.

About Shopping Centres projects

Shopping centres in New Zealand range from large retail destinations to town-centre projects. When using a project as a precedent, compare its setting and stated scope with the work in your brief. Westfield Newmarket, Auckland by PeterFell is one of the listed projects; its project information can help when comparing it with other references.

Shopping Centres

Ormiston Town Centre by Scarbro Construction is another listed project. For a proposed development or upgrade, clarify the intended mix of retail and other uses, the site constraints and the stage of work before drawing conclusions from a project title or image. This keeps early design discussions tied to the actual brief.

A tenancy fit-out calls for a different set of questions from work across a whole centre. Mickey's Cafe, Newmarket by Gartshore is a listed project to use when considering fit-out scope, customer areas and interfaces with the building. Note which details your own project still needs to resolve.

What information should a shopping centre brief establish?

State whether the work is a new development, a refurbishment or a tenancy fit-out. Include the intended retail uses, approximate floor area and any site constraints that will affect the layout.

How can project references help with a fit-out?

Use a relevant project to identify questions about the tenant’s scope, finishes and connection to the wider building. Record which details need to be resolved in the design rather than assuming the reference provides a specification.

What should be agreed before refurbishing an operating centre?

Set out the proposed work stages and identify any noisy or disruptive tasks. Agree construction access and temporary arrangements with the centre operator before work starts.
