Designed for Melrose Investment Holdings, the Melrose Arch Piazza precinct integrates seamlessly into the existing Melrose Arch development. Our design response included a new public piazza space connecting to an additional pedestrian route. This created a natural and permeable link between the existing Melrose Square and the rest of the development. The piazza comprises mixed-use retail, offices, leisure and residential components.
The pedestrian route is lined with high street retail that connects to the new piazza, creating a permeable mall route that is partially covered and partially open. The design features ample glazing to draw in plenty of natural light, which protecting people from rain. The various high street shopping routes intersect at the permeable Galleria, which forms a convenient pedestrianised retail route leading back towards the piazza.
