Toombul Shopping Centre for Mirvac – Fresh Food Mall | Brisbane

High-ceilinged fresh food transition area with lush hanging greenery and warm wood accents.

Fresh Food Mall Design Concept

Design Clarity worked with Mirvac on the early stages of the Toombul Shopping Centre redevelopment direction. In under 3 weeks we presented a Fresh Food precinct schematic concept upgrade to allow leasing to key tenants to progress. The upgrade identified quick wins that provided maximum uplift for the Fresh Food mall anchored by Coles.

The scope included opening up the tenancies to achieve a ‘market feel’, shopfront and inter-tenancy divisions, treatment of common mall walls, explorations in flooring, ceilings, bulkheads, tenancy canopies, skylights, general mall finishes, customer pause points and furniture.

The food court offers a lively, inviting environment featuring a classic black-and-white checkerboard floor that adds bold visual interest. With a variety of food stalls, including a butcher counter with refrigerated displays, the space combines modern design elements with a bustling market feel.
