“The Link”

Design & Evolution

Leading the strategic vision & planning; with the international design team of Make Architecture, whom based this design out of their London & Sydney offices

The brief was simple and elegant, yet manifested in a bespoke design, in which strategic vision provided a canvas to create the bespoke “Link”

“The Link” which does so much more than just acts as a “ connection” it provides a bespoke guest journey. It connects elegantly the main mall, of Chadstone with the New office Tower 1 and the Iconic new Hotel Chadstone MGallery by Sofitel. This iconic structure acts as a future set of parts for the future Chadstone Vision.
