The architects envisaged a new development that would integrate seamlessly with the existing Melrose Arch surface and basement movement patterns. With the formation of a new public space, named the Melrose Piazza, on the northern side of the allocated Erven and the introduction of additional Pedestrian walk named Slip Street, they have managed to create a natural movement line between the existing Melrose Square, (the existing Old House square), the existing retail on High Street and the retail Precinct northwards, recharging and invigorating two high energy nodes.

“Melrose Piazza”, is a welcome addition to the mixed-use retail, office and leisure precinct, and together with the adjacent residential areas in Melrose Arch, it forms a genuinely integrated urban experience. The high fashion “Slip Street” intersects with “Cross Walk” which takes you from High Street into a two levelled “Galleria” which forms a traditional retail race track pedestrian route of shopping back towards the Piazza.
