video footage provides a unique experience for customers waiting for the lifts . The three distinct courts and lift feature walls were not only created to enhance customer experience , but also to serve as landmarks for customers spatial cognition , to make wayfinding simpler .
In the end the design of the mall architecture and interiors is successful in that it complements the variety of retail offerings , creating a memorable and relaxed lifestyle experience for Table Bay Mall customers .
Sustainability The client and design team have taken sustainability measures as a principle of appropriate design . Energy efficient lighting ( LED ) and equipment have been utilised thought the projects . Smart metering and monitoring of energy systems is in place . Natural daylight has been incorporated in to the internal mall areas via extensive roof lights and at the same time these roof lights have not added a significant heat load to the building as solar protected glass has been used . The roof has been designed for future installations of solar panels . Recycling initiatives include wet waste sent to a bio plant instead of overloaded landfills , wet and dry compactors on site and onsite sorting of refuse from tenants .
Wet Services Designed by Aurecon , the Wet Services are an essential aspect of the Mall ’ s sustainability focus . Three separate water sources are used - municipal supply , treated borehole water and storm water collected via the roof drainage system . The municipal supply is used to meet the potable water requirements of the building .
The borehole water is treated in an external plant to remove iron and manganese , and reticulated to the water closets and urinals in the building that require water for flushing . The storm water is filtered to remove any possible debris and supplements the borehole water storage . The alternative sources were incorporated into the design to reduce the potable water demand in the building and thus far has yielded a 50 % saving in potable water usage .
Water conscious sanitary fittings ( for both potable and non-potable water ) were also incorporated into the design of the building in an effort to further reduce the water usage of the building .
