Shopping Centre Renovation

Location: Ryde  NSW

Background: As part of the master planning team under Saunders Global, the shopping centre required revamping with better retail atmosphere, circulation, and tenancy mix to encourage more foot traffic.  The design brief calls for a destination and customer-friendly place for locals.  Also being recently built, the Centre has limited budget on any expansion or major renovation works.

Design Solution: LIMe Design managed parts of the master planning package.  Photos below are the Phase 3 of the Centre Refurbishment Master Plan: the L1 (Level-1) Restaurants Conversion; and Ground level connectors.  LIMe Design is responsible in creating 3D Photomontage renderings of the design concept to documenting and selecting materials for Council approval and construction stages.  Software use varies such as: 3D Studio Max, VRay, Photoshop, Revit, and AutoCAD.

Because Erica had these qualities, ...she has proven to be a great asset to anyone who would like to engage her on any project. She is brilliant in what she does and has proven so over the years. Her experience, in creativity and technical understanding of construction, were helpful to [us]... Her commitment was evident right from the first day I gave her the opportunity to work [with us]..."
