Woodhead provided architectural design for extensions to Floreat Forum, a food and convenience shopping centre in suburban Perth. The centre comprises two supermarkets and 60 specialty shops.
The design solution addressed the expansion of both Woolworths and Newmart Supermarkets to include full line merchandise. The addition of a Fresh Food Hall with gourmet specialty retailers is located around a sun-lit atrium, providing natural daylight and an alfresco feel for shoppers.
The outdoor experience is continued with an open plaza providing a Food and Beverage precinct comprising of four restaurants each with ‘alfresco’ dining and two ‘alfresco’ cafes.
The retail precent includes a new 3,600m² gymnasium, 23 additional specialty shops, freestanding convenience retailing, a new petrol station, and parking for over 900 cars.
The entire mall and public area is refurbished including new natural lighting systems. The design team have applied ESD principles of natural ventilation, with air-conditioning as backup for climatic extremes.
