    We’ve redesigned the frontage for Ralph Lauren’s flagship store in Melbourne to create a striking new arrival point for Chadstone Shopping Centre, one of the largest malls in the Southern Hemisphere. Delivered by Buchan Architects, this is our second project for Vicinity Centres, strengthening our global retail portfolio as well as our presence in Melbourne.

    #

    Our design for the store’s double-height facades, located on the eastern entrance to the mall, combines fluted glass-fibre reinforced concrete cladding with glazed double-height vitrines to maximise exterior merchandising and invite customers inside. The first floor is set back, allowing native planting to spill down the facade, while LED lights emphasise the fluted texture, showcasing the facades as day turns to night.

    #

    With its soft, pleated profile, the cladding complements the curved details of The Link, Make’s award-winning pedestrian walkway for the mall, completed in 2020. The new frontage continues Chadstone’s ongoing evolution as an internationally recognised destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.
