Cannon Hill Shopping Plaza
The revitalisation works comprised of several distinct elements, delivered collectively to realise a holistic strategic outcome. Our comprehensive approach tackled both internal and external enhancements to elevate many aspects of the centre.
The need for new entry statements and interior foyers, as part of the total façade refresh, were the key drivers of the redesign. At the heart were the iconic Coles and Kmart entrances. GroupGSA's innovative 'heartbeat' design concept infuses new life into the façade, featuring distinctive peaked entry portals which create symbolic pulse to the Centre. New branding signage was also incorporated, sitting within heartbeat element between the entrances.
This dynamic motif extends seamlessly throughout the centre, including external walls which were repainted to incorporate the heartbeat graphic. At night, fine linear LED lighting traces the edge of the heartbeat bringing a cohesive visual identity that draws visitors in.
New dynamic pylon signs were also designed to replace existing ones on the main thoroughfares. The carpark layout was upgraded and reconfigured to improve pedestrian safety, movement and traffic flow along the main façade.
Internally new timber batten feature ceilings add warmth and texture, while upgraded amenities, including a new parent's room and staff facilities, enhance the shopping experience.
The contemporary façade redesign greatly enhances the street presence of Cannon Hill as well as the overall standard of the whole shopping centre, creating a more attractive destination and expanding the centre's demographic.
