RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS AWARD<br />
WINNER: MERINO MALL<br />
Architect: MDS Architecture<br />
The design is cognisant of integrating into the existing architecture and creating a streetscape that<br />
has developed over time. Pedestrian access points integrate the precinct into the urban landscape.<br />
MDS Architecture is honoured to have designed the iconic Boardwalk Mall where one is able to step<br />
out onto the beautiful beachfront promenade directly from the shopping centre.<br />
Merino Mall features a unique combination of<br />
contemporary architecture and integrated local<br />
art. The design establishes an experiential sense<br />
of place, paying tribute to the site’s heritage while<br />
meeting environmental and social challenges. MDS<br />
