Rosslyn Riviera

Located on a steeply sloping site, Rosslyn Riviera Shopping Centre is designed as a neighborhood retail development that will complement its surrounding suburban scale while also avoiding being overwhelming. It is designed to sit on four levels that cascade down the slope on which it sits.

Movement and sequence take advantage of the slope by allowing for entry at mid and top levels off natural grade at those entry points. Movement within is designed to give maximum visibility to each retail outlet and eventually terminate at a primary anchor.

Restaurants and other relaxation points frame an open courtyard conceived as a village square that opens up to the bordering river downslope on the serene side of the site, serving as an unexpected situational event in itself. Parking is largely contained at the basement level within the slope. Shops are spread across three levels
