New Retail Hotspot
shopping space
Just 40 minutes from downtown Sydney, a new shopping center opened its doors in June: The Eastern Creek Quarter, developed by Frasers Property Australia, offers more than 10,000 m² of shopping space with stores ranging from barber shops, pharmacies and nail salons to clothing stores.
Visitors also have a large selection of numerous changing dining options to choose from, because the Eastern Creek Quarter seeks to establish itself as a shopping and dining hotspot in western Sydney. What makes it special: In the catering area, the stores are designed as pop-up stores to provide various local restaurants a stage for their products.
The Dinowave Façade
The Australian architects’ firm i2c was responsible for planning the shopping center and chose a custom design for the façade: The name of the tailor-made pattern is “Dinowave” and is embedded in the reinforced, class 40MPa concrete using RECKLI moulds. RECKLI supplied two sets of formliners, each 54 m² in total. The custom pattern is up to 75 millimeters deep and now characterizes almost 1700 m² of the façade. The concrete was stained using the NAWKAW staining system in the precast plant XL Precast Concrete and then applied to the façade.
