Retail Redevelopment and Repositioning Week. Lake

Retail Redevelopment and Repositioning Week.

Lakeside Mall.

Lakeside Mall is located in the East Rand of Gauteng, conveniently positioned on Tom Jones Street and in close proximity to the N12 Motorway and the Benoni Taxi Rank.

The refurbishment of the mall aimed to enhance existing architectural features creating a new light and contemporary shopping experience to all the malls existing patrons, as well as enticing many new patrons to the mall.

With an offering of over 150 shops, the mall is anchored by Woolworths, Checkers and Game. A diverse tenant mix caters to all LSM Groups comfortably. The retail offering ranges from fashion, home and décor, restaurants and service driven tenants. The mall offers convenient on grade and covered parking to its patrons, allowing customers to shop in a secure environment.

The architecture of the mall boasts fully glazed atriums which allow magnificent natural light which enhances the decorative steelwork at high level which is evident throughout.

Retail Redevelopment & Repositioning Week: La Luc

Retail Redevelopment & Repositioning Week:

La Lucia Mall

The original La Lucia Mall was one of the early shopping centres designed by Bentel, completed in 1972 as a 12,000sqm shopping mall. In the early 2000’s, Bentel Associates redesigned La Lucia as an intimate high-end centre offering an exclusive shopping experience. Having undergone four extensions over the last thirty years, the centre had evolved to a size of 40,000sqm GLA, and required a comprehensive external and internal refurbishment.

The revised design sought to clarify mall interiors with a modern contemporary ambience. The main design feature, a centralised oval-shaped atrium and court, simplifies orientation and increases the overall legibility of the centre. The tensile cable glass roof is another significant design feature.

CELEBRATING OUR LONG SERVICE STAFF!
Meet Anne Coventry our Architect

Anne started with Bentel in 1986, when it was still Bentel Abramson & Partners. She had taken a temporary job as a Tenant Co-ordinator on The Workshop, in Durban, with Retail International which was linked to Bentel Abramson at the time. Alf Abrahamson discovered she was an architect, and moved her to BAP, where she worked with @stephenthomasroberts in Store-planning. Pick 'n Pay requested that their store-planning be done digitally, so Stephen and herself were the first in the company to migrate to computers.She ended up slowly growing the network, adding computers and printers, then email and a file server. She eventually trained everyone at Bentel how to work on Autocad.

Since 2002, Anne has worked from home and has been a key member of staff and an integral part of Bentel!
Anne is a dog lover and loves her fur babies!
Congratulations and thank you Anne for your commitment and astounding work for Bentel for 35 years!

CELEBRATING OUR LONG SERVICE STAFF! Meet Rita Koma. Rita started working for Bentel in 1998 when it was still called Bentel Abramson and Partner as a librarian.
The library consisted of mainly product catalogues and building material samples from manufacturers, a collection of architectural books , copies of building standards purchased from SABS and all the other records used in the Built Industry .
Her duties were to answer queries and provide information to help architects in their design and specification work. At the time there was obviously no internet, so she would do her research telephonically or by consulting information records available in the library and also visiting other libraries or institutions from where information required was obtained. Today she manages the office and client liaison.

Rita also runs an afterschool facility at her home and is passionate about uplifting the children in her community.

REFURB WEEK: South Africa

Pick n Pay On Nicol has enjoyed continued success after it’s opening in 2010 and in 2019 Pick n Pay realised their dream to further enhance the shopper’s experience by refurbishing the Centre. In conjunction with AIR&D and Pick n Pay’s design team we worked together to create a new look and feel for the Supermarket and Liquor Store. It was an immensely exciting project for to be involved in.

Extremely tight programme constraints and the fact that the store continued to trade during construction, meant that the team had to work very closely in order to meet the programme deadlines, and limiting any inconvenience to its loyal customers. The interior of the Supermarket was stripped completely in order to improve sight-lines, and new ‘floating’ bulkheads were introduced along the perimeter of the space, delineating the various Food and Deli areas. We worked intimately with Pick ‘n Pay’s team to assist in developing the design concept by Air & D to ensure these elements met both an aesthetic and buildable solution.

BOH prep areas were upgraded to ensure efficient and hygienic environments for the preparation of fresh product. Our scope of work on the project extended to the include the shuffle of the supporting line shops resulting in a new branded Liquor Store, relocation of existing tenants and upgrading of the exterior of the building.

REFURB WEEK-South Africa: Greenstone Food Court T

REFURB WEEK-South Africa: Greenstone Food Court

The design hinges upon two ideas – firstly creating a food court unlike any other and secondly the idea of being in a forest, wherein people can enjoy the natural ambience in a built environment. The design mimics one’s experience when walking through the wood, which is evident by the depiction of bugs and beetles that sprawl through the circulation paths by means of an in-situ terrazzo flooring pattern. Continuing the theme of the forest, tall tree trunks are modified to function as lighting beacons. The large central tree not only anchors the various seating zones, but also offers the experience of dining under the green foliage. The suspended pergola with its laser-cut metal leaves, and the filtered, dappled light further lends to the drama of the green forest. The double volume of the architecture is celebrated by the ring of fabric lighting, etched with patterns of the flora and the fauna found in the forest.
