The IKEA / Large Format Retail (LFR) site is located just outside the existing Sylvia Park shopping centre. Unique features, including a watercourse and linear stormwater culvert and a significant number of mature trees, present the opportunity to provide better pedestrian connections for those who visit, work and dwell in the area.
The design proposal provides for the functional needs of the development whilst seeking to create value, opportunity and pride for owners and visitors. Key outcomes include providing a high-quality landscape environment that holds visual interest, celebrating the natural assets found on site, allowing movement to occur throughout the property with the help of access and arrival nodes.
