Inspired by the shifting, sinuous forms and features of coastal
landscapes, this dramatic mall plaza is also the entrance to a
new Oceanarium.
The flowing forms of rippling waves,
smooth pebbles, shells, rock pools and coastlines create an
evocative and dynamic landscape structure. The Sunken Plaza is a welcoming space to greet visitors who
arrive via a tunnel connection to the train station. Steps and
a Cascade Garden lead to the central Oceanarium Garden,
which is flanked by two curving F and B terraces – the Forest
Terrace alongside the existing mall and a Wave Walk at the
forecourt to the new mall. The entrance to the Oceanarium
is defined by a dramatic Wave Garden, where mist poles,
infinity pools and water jets contribute a sense of underwater
adventure. A huge pebble-shaped Stage Lawn provides a focus for
performance. It dominates and defines the distinctive curving
forms of the adjacent Event Plaza, elevated lawns, tree groves
and water features which are shaped to guide visitors from the
car parks to the heart of the mall. This stunning, dynamic landscape will draw people to Bintaro
Xchange and encourage a relaxing family day out.
