Mile End

Mile End Adelaide

McBean & Co Design was engaged to develop a strategic Concept Design framework to guide capital works for the upgrade of an existing outdoor centre that lacked cohesion and clear connectivity.

The strategy focused on strengthening links between precincts, improving circulation and enhancing overall ambience through a cohesive design language and the introduction of a covered walkway connecting previously disconnected areas.

To embed a stronger sense of place, a local Indigenous artist was engaged to activate key walls adjacent to newly introduced seating zones. These curated interventions increased dwell time, supported intuitive wayfinding and encouraged cross-shopping between tenancies.

The staged framework balanced placemaking with commercial performance — enhancing leasing appeal, improving customer experience and contributing to long-term yield and asset value uplift.
