We often include a range of restaurant outlets as part of our integrated development programmes.
Restaurants in a well-designed urban precinct are never merely outlets for consumption. They have always served as “markers” - points where the paths of people, interests and everyday rituals intersect.
Contemporary integrated developments reinforce this truth, drawing on local heritage and culture as sources of authenticity. “Place” embodies value, and architecture becomes an encoder of shared memory.
Community architecture is generally, in fact, about placemaking.
A carefully thought-out restaurant mix is the magnet.
A well-planned food and beverage precinct binds hotel, retail and office functions into a single ecosystem. It creates a natural meeting point, organises movement and gives development a human rhythm. A carefully curated mix of venues attracts, retains and encourages other businesses.
Placemaking begins at the table. Those who understand this create significant projects rooted in context.
