This shopping mall is an instance where this type is conceptualised and resolved in a unique way, making for compact dimensions achieving an externalized shopping center with activity surrounding an active open-air street of human scale.
Edge are experienced as a collection of individual shops addressing the space. The massing of the building is elegant, the detailing of connections and corners are all well executed, landscaping is integrated with the court’s space and is congruous with the architectural language and pallete, signage is well designed, controlled and unobtrusive, yet effective.
This development is not architecturally themed - rather a specific style syntax is constructed by means of the development of a tectonic ensemble that has an honest expression of materiality, structurally congruent materials, and a focus on spatial qualities and legibility. The meritorious achievement is of quality, congruency and honesty.
